Title	Needlework "Blanche and Fitz James" (Scene from "Lady of the Lake")
Creator	Hasbrouck, Hylah Bevier, 1795-1874
Date.Original	1813
Contributors	Gold, Michael (Photographer)
Description	Needlework is silk embroidery and watercolor on silk of a scene from "Lady of the Lake" by Sir Walter Scott's. The needlework is titled on the bottom of the glass "Hylah Bevier., Blanche and Fitz James, 1813" note that Bevier is spelled wrong. The needlework is very elaborate with satin, split, short, long and chain stitches. French knots and silk chenille thread can be found throughout the needlework, especially in the trees to create a three-dimensional appearance. There is a man and woman on the left hand side with a river, mountains and trees around them. The woman's yellow hat lays on the ground next to her, while the man kneels at her side.
Notes	Hylah Bevier attended the Litchfield Female Academy, in Litchfield, Connecticut around 1811. She would have been 13 years old when she created this needlework at Litchfield Female Academy. Her six sisters also attending the Litchfield Female Academy around the same time period. Several embroidered pictures created by the Bevier girls are preserved at the Historic Huguenot Street.
