Notwithstanding these disadvantages he has by industry acquired the arts of writing & drawing, holding his pencil between the stump of his left arm and his cheek & guiding it with the muscles of his mouth. In order to assist these extraordinary efforts of ingenuity, this drawing was presented to him by Mr. Robertson, & Mr. Fittler kindly super-intended the etching. This print is sold by T. Inglefield at No. 8 Chapel Street, Tottenham Court Road, where ladies & gentlemen may see him & many more of his performances."--Below title., and Sheet trimmed to plate mark.
