[AUTOMATON]. Writing Sample of an Automaton Calligrapher. [London, ca. 1820]. Cursive text within in a fancy oval border reads, ?Unerring is my hand tho small / May I not add with truth / I do my best to please you all / Encourage then my youth. / The Automaton SCRr.? This phrase was apparently written by an automaton artist at Weeks (late Haddock?s) Museum. 5 ? x 6 1/8?. See previous lot.
