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, but thought that this might be of interest
to the list. The oldest reference I found was from 1879.
Below are the partial results.
