The Marian Library was established in 1943 by Marianists at the University of Dayton in Dayton, Ohio. The library contains a comprehensive collection of research materials on Mary (including print, visual, and multimedia) and aims to promote study, research, and devotion. The library maintains a website, The Mary Page, which may be found at
The mouth and foot artists Christmas card collection was assembled by Brother William Fackovec, a member of the Marian Library staff.
This collection contains Marian Christmas cards that represent work by artists who, due to disability that prohibits them from using their hands, use their mouth or foot to create original artwork. All of the cards are Christmas themed and include the Blessed Virgin Mary. Most of the collection is lithographs and various prints of original paintings or drawings.
The majority of cards were published by The Mouth and Foot Painting Artists and the Association of Handicapped Artists.
Cards are arranged alphabetically, by artist's last name.
This collection is open and available to the public for research in the Marian Library reading room. The materials are non-circulating.
The materials in this collection may be protected by copyright law (Title 17, U.S. Code). The materials are available for personal, educational, and scholarly use.
