EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Marathi Braille Code, a significant communication milestone from 1919. The image is sourced from "The British Printer Vol. XXXII" published by Raithby, Lawrence & Co. Ltd in London and Leicester. In this picture, we witness the embodiment of an innovative concept that revolutionized writing for visually impaired individuals in India during the early 20th century. Developed by Louis Braille, the Marathi Braille Code introduced a new alphabet system specifically designed to empower blind people with literacy skills. The monochrome photograph captures the intricate lettering of this unique code, which enabled blind individuals to read and write in their native language - Marathi. Each capital letter is meticulously depicted on this print collector's object, serving as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. As we delve into this historical artifact, it reminds us of the immense impact that printing technology had on society at large. This particular journal entry sheds light on how advancements in communication were not limited to sighted individuals but extended inclusively towards those with visual impairments. With its rich cultural significance and historical context, this print serves as a poignant reminder of our collective progress towards equal access to education and information for all members of society.
