A MEMOIR OF JOHN CARTER.
Dampier, William James
The soul's triumph amid the body's wreck
This book is a memoir of John Carter, who was paralyzed from the neck down. His paralysis led him to develop unique artistic talents such as the ability to paint and draw with his mouth. This book includes six black-and-white and one color facsimile sketches by Carter. Also includes a replication of letter correspondence. Inside soiled. Signature completely cracked, detaching the spine between the frontis and the title page. Text-block fragile. Cover faded and heavily worn.
