Description
Photograph of a man putting the cover on a book at the Universal Braille Press, ca.1933. Clad in a visor and apron over his uniform, a man applies the cover to a braille book atop a work table. In front of him sits a transparent bottle filled with liquid, and to his left, a line of tools hang from a piece of wood nailed against a wall. In the background sit a book shelf at right, and a storage area lined with paper and other horizontal objects stands at left. A light bulb hangs ungracefully, tangled in its line at center.
