EDITORS COMMENTS
A Blind Trousseau Worker at the London Association for the Blind, meticulously crafting a finely knitted coat for the trousseau of Princess Patricia, in preparation for her marriage to Commander Alexander Ramsay RN on 27 February 1919. The Princess, a granddaughter of Queen Victoria, relinquished her royal title upon marriage and became Lady Patricia Ramsay. This poignant image captures the elegance and grace of the early 1920s, as the Princess's trousseau was being created by the skilled and dedicated blind workers at the Churton Street, Victoria, workshops. The intricate design of the coat, a testament to the exceptional talent of the blind trousseau worker, reflects the haute couture trends of the time. This illustration, published in March 1919 by the Illustrated London News, highlights the charitable efforts of the London Association for the Blind, providing employment opportunities and enabling those with disabilities to contribute to the creation of an elegant and memorable bridal wardrobe for Princess Patricia.
