What will you get if you put a superbly patient, determined and ingenious forger in a prison cell for 25 years.

A pinhead carved with the Lord's Prayer in full text. Mr. A. Schiller, convicted of forgery back in the 1800s and was sentenced for 25 years, meticulously etched the prayer in not just one but seven pinheads. Schiller went blind because of this artwork.

Here are samples of their amazing works.
