Convicted forger A. Schiller was serving his time in Sing

Sing prison in the late 1800s when guards found him dead in

his cell. On his body they found seven regular straight pins

whose heads measured the typical 47/1000ths of an inch or

1.17 millimeters in diameter. Under 500 magnification it was

found that the tiny etchings seen on the heads of the pins

were the words to The Lord's Prayer, which is 65 words and

254 letters long. Of the seven pins, six were silver and one

was gold - the gold pin's prayer was flawless and a true

masterpiece. Schiller had spent the last 25 years of his life

creating the pins, using a tool too small to be seen by the

naked eye. It is estimated that it took 1,863 sepatate carving

strokes to make it. Schiller went blind because of his

artwork.
