No Hands, No Arms, One Foot. Swansea, Great Britain, ca. 1850s. “Greatest Curiosity of the Present Age.” Broadside advertises the exhibition of Mr. Ledgwood, a Scotsman, who born without hands will “prepare and go through the ceremony of Breakfast; use a Knife and Fork, and feed himself; go through the form of Shaving; make Pens, Write, Fold and Seal Letters; Thread the Finest Needle, and Sew,” and perform many other feats of dexterity. 7 ½ x10”. With evidence of scrapbook mounting. Good.
