Printing Office, Phare de France (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• jamica1 said:

  The "Phare de France," was an association working in co-operation with an American society, "The Lighthouse." (Phare = lighthouse in French) Its aim was to teach a trade to men blinded in the Great War,. It was under the patronage of President Poincaré, of the American Ambassador, the Hon. W. G. Sharp, and of the French Ministers of War, the Navy, the Interior, and Public Instruction.

"Titania" -- Overbrook [dancing] (LOC)

  Titania is a character in Midsummer Night's Dream.

• pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:

  From a performance or pageant at Overbrook School for the Blind--presumably Titania is one of the Overbrook students.

• Art Siegel said:

  Here is another photo from the Midsummer Night's Dream production from The Commons, with "Titania" at center:
  
  A June 6, 1914 magazine used the Bain photo with this caption:
  A BLIND TITANIA QUEEN OF THE FAIRIES
  A Midsummer Night's Dream was given this year in the dramatic work of the Pennsylvania Institution for the Instruction of the Blind at Overbrook. The institution's report holds that the drama not only makes the institution known but clears up the old impression that it is a "blind asylum", while in realiity it is "a boarding school for boys and girls who happen to be blind." Most important of all it gives self confidence to blind pupils, helps them to get around, and oflen completely transforms those who are slow to hear and to observe.
