The needlework sampler created by 11-year-old Mary Anne Hughes in 1827, celebrating the Menai Suspension Bridge, captures a significant piece of history.
This piece, more than just a child's creation, showcases the architectural marvel of its time, with intricate details of the Menai Bridge and local life.
The Menai Suspension Bridge, an engineering feat by Thomas Telford, was celebrated upon its completion in 1826 as a monumental achievement of human art.
By exporting this needlework, we risk losing a unique cultural artifact that represents both personal history and the broader narrative of engineering breakthroughs.
