Die berühmte Fußkünstlerin Louise Ebbighausen, ohne Arme geboren - 1868

Freakshows. - The famous foot artist Louise Ebbighausen, born without arms, has the honor of presenting herself in her extraordinary foot performances. She has advanced in her art to such a degree that she can not only eat and drink with her feet, but is able to perform the most skilled female tasks, e.g., crocheting, sewing, knitting, writing, spinning, and so on, all with her feet, and with such ease as one usually sees with the hands. The artist had on her travels already the honor of presenting herself before all European courts, and ladies can partake of her instruction in the production of artificial flowers from wax and beads. (Signatory:) C. Steiner. Printed by J. G. Ling in Ulm, about 1868. A single-sheet print with typographic text in a frame and a small woodcut portrait of Louise Ebbighausen. Page size: 31 x 21 cm. The enterprising promoter Steiner advertises rich gifts for every redeemed admission ticket, from ladies’ dresses to silver pocket watches. - A print from the Circus collection of Duke Max in Bavaria (1808-1888), with his handwritten note "Munich, Jakobidult 1868".
