Description
Photograph of workers making books for the blind at the Universal Braille Press, in December 1933. Several workers taking on different tasks stand at right, with a man in the foreground standing beside a stack of large, thick pieces of paper. Next to him, at left, stands a wheeled and belted piece of machinery, across from which two men stand. At the back of the room stands another man inspecting what appears to be a book. A shelf lined with books and folders lines the background, and a light-colored desk sits left of this.
