Remember Me When I am Dead, Susannah Hipple's 1848 Pennsylvania German Cross Stitch Sampler

I tend to gravitate toward samplers executed with far less precision than this antique cross-stitch, completed by a Susannah Hipple on May 16 of 1848--but it is a lovely thing (all those different varieties of flowers, in their variously patterned urns), in lovely condition, and the "Remember Me When I am Dead" sealed the deal!  I also now know, from a recently sampler I bought and sold, that the central element is Pennsylvania German: the OEHBDDE is an acrostic, with each letter the first letter in a German phrase, which translates to "Oh Noble Heart Think of Your End" ---which makes Susannah's "remember me" feel all the more bittersweet, and the presence of the swans, mates for life, all the more poignant. 

17 5/8" x 14 1/8" framed. Excellent antique condition, cotton thread on bleached white cotton/linen I believe, in an antique frame under glass, as found, with wood backing, all in very good shape.
