 : The Gift of Sight & Braille as only recreation of the blind


The Gift of Sight & Braille as only recreation of the blind

A picture drawn specially for The Sketch by Frank Reynolds, highlighting an appeal in 1914 to raise ae30, 000 to complete the buildings at the Royal Institute for the Blind in Great Portland Street. The two pictures contrast the joys of being able to see (and play golf) with one of the few recreational pleasures available to the blind - reading through the medium of braille
