Single-sided folded yellow paper sheet. Full dimensions: H 21.7cm x L 9.2cm. OCLC notes poem of 8 stanzas of 8 lines each - however this sheet has, after a prefatory five-line paragraph, a seven stanza poem of 4-4-6-6-6-6-4 lines respectively. Sheet extracted from a book with an 1867 inscription of a Memphis, Tennessee and Oxford, Mississippi dual resident so perhaps two locations of printing possibility and an approximate date. Extrapolating from the OCLC citations, it seems that "The Blind Woman's Appeal" may well have become a generic handout for those afflicted by sight loss and left to panhandling and thus variations/versions migrated around the country during 1860s-1870s. OCLC also notes "A similar work was published, with appropriate gender changes, under [the] title: 'The Blind Man's Appeal.'".
