EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Helen Keller in 1913, a remarkable woman who defied all odds. Despite being both deaf and blind, Keller became an influential American author, political activist, and lecturer. She holds the distinction of being the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor's degree. In this portrait, Keller is seated gracefully with flowers adorning her lapel. Her serene expression reflects her inner strength and determination to overcome adversity. The image showcases not only her physical disabilities but also highlights her activism for the rights of disabled individuals. Keller's teacher Anne Sullivan played a pivotal role in unlocking her potential by teaching her sign language and braille. Through their extraordinary partnership, Keller learned to communicate effectively despite her sensory impairments. This photograph serves as a powerful testament to Keller's resilience and unwavering spirit. It symbolizes hope for those facing similar challenges while inspiring others to advocate for equality and inclusivity. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical moment from the early 20th century, allowing us to reflect on the immense impact that Helen Keller had on society during a time when disability was often misunderstood or stigmatized.
