The newest addition to the Roland-designs collection of re-charted samplers is this small Scandinavian sampler dated 1898. This classic school sampler is worked in both cross stitch, and backstitch.
The sampler has two sets of initials. BKLR, and LAR. Also, it came into my possession already bordered in a lovely, antique floral frame.
Note how the Norwegian letter Æ, Ø are present but not the letter Å. The letter Å which is now the last letter in the Norwegian alphabet was introduced in 1917, but not made mandatory until 1938, this is why you never find the letter Å in antique Norwegian sampler.

As close a match as I could find. DMC embroidery floss |
This simple, but charming
sampler would make a perfect ‘first’ project for someone who wishes to stitch
reproductions of antique sampler.
The pattern for the sampler is available on ETSY: bklrsampler
