Needlework textile executed in 1807 by Ann Davies, with Adam and Eve and the Tree of Life at the center bottom, above it text reading,"Like leaves on a tree the race of man is found, how green in youth, now withering on the ground. Another race the following Spring supplies. They fall successive, and successive rise, so generations in their course, decay. So flourish these when those are passed away. Death is the certain end of all that live, Health may prolong, but can't the debtr forgive, then why procrastinate the final hour, when the next moment is beyond your power. Life how precarious but how sure our doom, Even cradles rock us nearer to the tomb." overall 17.5"h x 13.5"w
