  • Object Type
    This panel is mounted on a piece of wood, and was once framed behind glass for display. Its description as 'a design for trimming or ornament' suggests that it was used for copying onto other items. However, at this time pieces of needlework as decorative as this were sometimes hung on the wall, like paintings.

    Subject Depicted
    The embroiderer has shown the plants in great detail, which suggests that she may have been inspired by botanical prints. The most likely source is the work of the painter Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759-1840). He was best known for his illustrations of roses, and published his engravings of them between 1817 and 1824.

    People
    The museum has no other work by C. Georgiana Mowland, who made the embroidery. She was a London schoolgirl who lived with her family just over a mile from the Victoria & Albert Museum. She was the eldest child of Matthew Mowland, who was a coach driver, and his wife Eliza. Georgiana's father was from Hampshire, and her mother was from Devon. They were evidently among the growing numbers of people who came to London in search of work, and Georgiana and her brother Henry and sisters Eliza and Emily were all born in London.     (en)
