Description
Jenny Darney, A Remarkable Character in Cumberland', 1821. Portrait of a pipe-smoking 'travelling eccentric' who was 'well known in the southern part of the county of Cumberland...The country people knew her by the name of Jenny Darney, from the manner, it is presumed, in which she used to mend her clothes. Her garb was entirely of her own manufacture.' From "Wonderful Characters: Comprising Memoirs and Anecdotes of the Most Remarkable Persons of Every Age and Nation", Vol. II, by Henry Wilson. [J. Robins and Co. Albion Press, London, 1821]. Artist Robert Cooper. (Photo by The Print Collector/Heritage Images via Getty Images)
