Vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 photo, signed and inscribed in pencil, “To Dr. Berthhold Lowenfeld, Whose hand stretched out to the deaf-blind is among my happiest memories. Affectionately, Helen Keller.” Trivial corner creasing, light silvering to the darker areas along the edges, and heavy contrast to the inscription and signature which is legible at an angle, otherwise fine condition. Dr. Lowenfeld was an enthusiastic advocate for the blind, having worked at the New York Institute for the Education of the Blind, served as Director of Research for the American Foundation for the Blind, which entailed the development of “talking books,” and finally, as Superintendent of the California School for the Blind, working tirelessly to integrate blind children into local school systems.
