Description

Wonderful photo of Keller signed for a leading educator of the blind

Exceptional vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 full-length photo of Keller seated with a book and a dog resting by her feet, signed and inscribed in pencil, "To Dr. Berthold Lowenfeld, Whom I honor for his light-radiating personality as well as his unflagging devotion to the blind, Cordially, Helen Keller.” In fine condition, with creasing to the lower corners, and moderate-to-poor writing contrast against the dark background. Accompanied by a letter of transmittal from the American Foundation for the Blind, signed by Evelyn Davidson Seide, dated July 12, 1957. Berthold Lowenfeld served as the Superintendent of the California School for the Blind and wrote the highly regarded books, Our Blind Children and The Changing Status of the Blind.
