| Title: | The Blacksmith Shop, Reverse | |
| From: | The Blacksmith Shop | |
| Original caption: | TO THE PUBLIC. Some years ago, while working at the anvil, I was struck in the eye with a red-hot spark, destroying entirely the sight of one eye, and producing a violent inflammation which resulted in the loss of the other, total blindness being the final result. Therefore I depend upon the sale of these verses to enable me to support my wife and children. I crave your patronage, and solicit your charity to help a blind man. | |
