Announcement of Miss Honeywell's skills

Martha Ann Honeywell of Lempster, New Hampshire, was born in 1787 without hands. From 1798 to 1848, she traveled around the United States and Europe, making public appearances during which she demonstrated her talents and sold her creations. This broadside announces that Miss Honeywell “has acquired such extraordinary skill in the use of a common pair of Scissors, that by holding them in her mouth she is enabled to cut out of Paper the most curious and difficult designs ever attempted, or perhaps executed in the known world, such as Scripture Pieces, Likenesses of Distinguished Americans, together with a great variety of Watch Papers, Landscapes, and even the Lord’s Prayer.”
