Description
Photograph of a worker making a book for the blind at the Universal Braille Press, ca.1933. A man clad in light colors stands before a braille printing press, putting a sheet of paper across two braille molds. The machine bears the word "Victoria", and takes up twice the man's space at center. Left of this stands a shelf lined with books, with pieces of paper sticking out of them at random. At right sits another piece of machinery. Two windows break the continuous wall that lines the background.
