This pattern is a faithful replica of an antique sampler stitched in 1899 by Marie Agenon. What is very interesting about this sampler is that Marie stitched a similar one in 1888, both were worked in red threads and feature very similar alphabets and motifs.
The sampler has visible alignment flaws and mistakes, the reproduction is charted exactly how it was stitched.
