EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the extraordinary calligraphic exhibition bill of Matthew Buchinger, a renowned Dwarf from Nurnburg in 1717. Created by the talented artist himself, this facsimile was sent to Robert Harley, Earl of Oxford, as an advertisement for Buchinger's remarkable talents. What makes this bill even more astonishing is that Buchinger was born without hands or feet. Despite his physical disability, he defied all odds and became not only an accomplished artist but also a skilled magician and performer. His determination and creativity knew no bounds. In this illustration from "Historical and Literary Curiosities" we are transported back to the 18th century when heraldry and coat of arms were highly regarded symbols of prestige. The intricate details on display in Buchinger's work highlight his mastery over calligraphy, capturing the attention of anyone who laid eyes upon it. This photograph serves as a testament to human resilience and the power of art to transcend physical limitations. It reminds us that true talent knows no boundaries or disabilities. Matthew Buchinger's story continues to inspire generations as we marvel at his exceptional abilities despite facing immense challenges throughout his life.
