#spanishsampler

I love the colors of this lovely Spanish Sampler. They evoke that Mediterranean vibe, fresh and happy.Bernarda Dedicated this sampler to Dona Isabel Camacho in 1838.The text reads as follows:Lo Izo (a derivation (or a simple spelling mistake) of “lo hizo” meaning "Made by")Bernarda Bellon Dedicado A. (Bernarda Bellon dedicated to)Dona Isabel Camacho - then the letters all are clumped together and it took a bit to tease the meaning apart: ENEL ANO DE 1838 from Spanish: IN THE YEAR 1838 however the word ENE alone translated means Jan the abbreviation for January (Enero) so either could be the case.You can read more here: https://thewishingthorn.com/blogs/samplings/the-sampler-of-bernarda-bellon-1838
