PICTURES FOR THE BLIND
A photographer in America has discovered a way of making photographs lor the blind. The outlines of the picture are drawn In, and the rest of the photograph is removed by a bleaching bath. From the outline photograph a die is made from which, copies of the picture can be pressed out in Braille. A curious feature of this work is that only the mere outline of a photograph can be appreciated by a person who has been blind from birth, but people who have once seen and have afterwards become blind can understand complicated Braille photographs and appreciate details as well as outlines.
