Talk:Martha Ann Honeywell

Check out http://bornwithoutarms.blogspot.com/2015/10/extremely-rare-broadside-advertising.html, where there are a couple of broadside ads about her work. Haven't had any success learning her birthplace though (nor parents, etc.), I might have time to work a bit more on this though. — Martha (talk) 04:01, 11 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Martha Ann Honeywell (1786–1856) was an American disabled artist who produced silhouettes and paper-cutout images using only her mouth, arm stumps and toes, often in public performances. She sold cutouts such as this one as souvenirs. The text at the center of this cutout, with framed dimensions of 8+14 in × 7+58 in (21 cm × 19 cm), is the standard text of the Lord's Prayer, signed underneath with the inscription "Written without hands by Martha Honeywell". The work is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
