ASCII Art in 1939 (Jun, 1939)
Yes, I know the ASCII standard wan’t established until 1967, but it’s the same general idea.
Typewriter Artist Produces Pictures Like Tapestry
Pictures that resemble tapestry are produced with a typewriter by Rosaire J. Belanger, a mill worker in Saco, Me. Belanger first draws a pencil sketch on a sheet of paper, then inserts it in his typewriter and fills in the sketch with various characters to produce shading and outlines. With carbon paper, he transfers the picture onto graph paper, and copies it on blank paper.

I am a stereotypical hillbilly and I think Mr. Belanger looks just fine!
Everyone knows the hillbillys are too stupid from generation after generation of inbreeding to make anything of any intrest or value to anyone.

In 1952, Rosaire J. Belanger of Burlington, Iowa donated twenty of his Art Typed Pictures, including the original of “Jesus in Gethsamane to the Lightner Museum in St. Augustine. Florida. He wrote, ” each measures 10 x 14 and requires from four to seven hours to draw as 12,573 strokes or more are required to complete each one.” The pictures are in storage and are not available for viewing.
