Matthias Buchinger, Self-Portrait

Matthias Buchinger (1674 - 1740), sometimes called Matthew Buckinger in English, was a phocomelic German artist, magician, calligrapher, and performer who was born without hands or feet and was 29 inches tall. Buchinger was especially noted for his micrography, in which illustrations consist of very small text. This engraving, a self-portrait, is so detailed that the curls of his hair contain seven biblical psalms and the Lord's Prayer inscribed in miniature letters. Buchinger was married four times and had at least 14 children (by eight women).
