Metal Print : Moon Braille
Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Moon Braille
Moon Braille. Hand of a blind person running over text written in Moon Braille. Unlike the more common, universal system devised by Louis Braille, Moon Braille letters are raised symbols that approximate the shape of printed letters. Invented by the Englishman Dr William Moon in 1845, who had lost his sight at 21, the alphabet is made up of 14 characters at various angles. Moon Braille is often taught to people who have lost their sight in later life, as it is easier to master than the standard system

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a powerful moment of resilience and adaptation as the hand of a blind person runs over text written in Moon Braille. Unlike the more widely known Braille system developed by Louis Braille, Moon Braille utilizes raised symbols that closely resemble printed letters. Invented by Dr William Moon, an Englishman who lost his sight at 21, this unique alphabet consists of 14 characters positioned at different angles. Moon Braille is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced vision loss later in life, as it offers a simpler learning curve compared to the standard system. The photograph symbolizes the triumph of human spirit over adversity and showcases how innovation can empower those with disabilities. As the blind individual's fingers glide across the page, they are able to decipher meaning through touch alone. Each character becomes a conduit for understanding and connection to written language. This image highlights not only the importance of accessible reading systems but also underscores society's responsibility to ensure equal opportunities for all individuals regardless of their abilities. In this poignant portrayal, Science Photo Library beautifully encapsulates both the significance and impact that Moon Braille has had on countless lives around the world. It serves as a reminder that even in darkness, knowledge can still be illuminated through touch and perseverance.
