Helen Keller Inscribed Photograph
For Sale: £1,200.00
American author Helen Keller (1880-1968) was the first deafblind
person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. Her physical impairments never
stopped her from great accomplishments. Indeed, she became a lecturer,
political activist and social campaigner, travelling widely and writing
prolifically.
This charming vintage photograph, mounted neatly on board, measures
8" x 5.25". Keller's inscription fills the bottom left portion of the
image, "To Mr. Alexander, In remembrance, Helen Keller, May 1902". Her
distinctive autograph is clear and crisp.
Keller is shown in profile: she was often photographed this way due
to a protruding left eye. Later in adulthood, both eyes were replaced
with glass replicas to alleviate some medical issues and for cosmetic
reasons.
