[accessibleimage] Blind and art articles in the New York Times

Hi,
The  on-line version of  The New York Times has a search option for past
articles 
1857-Current file. I searched in there for articles about art and the
blind. From the search 
results you get the title, first paragraph, year etc. of the article. To
get the full article one has 
to pay. The oldest reference I found was from 1879. Below are the partial
results.
Regards,
Lisa

insurmountable obstacle to 
success, rarely to be ...
