SOLOMON'S TEMPLE ANTIQUE NEEDLEWORK by HANNAH JOHNSON
| The maker of this distinctive needlework picture akin to a sampler fashioned Solomon's Temple of such large scale that it fills almost the entire picture frame. Above it is a religious sentiment: 'Lord take my heart and let it be Forever close to all but the ......" (undecipherable). Among the folky touches are Hannah's signature placed vertically on the left side of the composition. The old frame's deep red stain complements the stitchery.The Temple of Solomon is Biblical iconography possibly Freemason in origin concerning the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem and the triumph of science over superstition. Geometric symbols seen in depictions of the Temple include checkerboard floor
