EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Blind letters (engraving)" takes us back to 19th-century Great Britain, offering a glimpse into the world of postal workers and their challenges. The image showcases a group of men diligently working in a well-lit room filled with furniture and stacks of letters. However, what makes this scene truly remarkable is that all these workers are blind. The photographer, Harry Furniss, captures the essence of their employment despite their sightless eyes. Each man sits on his chair, engrossed in his task as he skillfully engraves letters onto various surfaces. This powerful portrayal highlights not only their exceptional abilities but also sheds light on the resilience and determination they possess. In an era where disability was often stigmatized or overlooked, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the strength within those who face physical challenges. It celebrates the triumphs of individuals who refuse to let their infirmities define them and instead find purpose through meaningful work. Through this thought-provoking image, we are reminded that true greatness lies not in one's physical capabilities but rather in one's ability to overcome adversity and contribute meaningfully to society. These blind workers exemplify dedication and perseverance while challenging societal norms surrounding disability. "Blind letters (engraving)" invites us to reflect upon our own preconceptions about disabilities and encourages us to appreciate the immense potential within every individual regardless of physical limitations.
