He uses his feet to perform complex tasks. In this cabinet card by Eisenmann he lifts a cup from the table. On the floor are scissors and other tools and examples of his cutouts, stencils and writing.. On the verso he has written his name [same signature as on the card on the floor], and “Woodstock Ontario Age 34 yrs.” He has also written the name “George W. Farr” [probably the person who is purchasing the photograph] and “July 22 ’89.”
