  Presumably this is in Paris. See neighboring photo taken at the Hotel du Phare, Paris
  

• Ryan (LOC P&P) said:

  Thank you jamica1 for your research, and thank you swanq, for making the connection between the two photographs. We'll add some information about Winifred Holt to the records the next time we update.

Overbrook Blind Boys -- "First Aid" (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• marked hair said:

  If this is the Overbrook School for the Blind in Philly, this photo is dated wrong or named later. The school didn't change its name to Overbrook School for the Blind until 1946. It was called Pennsylvania Institute for the Instruction of the Blind until then. Maybe everyone called it Overbrook anyway? www.obs.org

  Two other Bain/LOC Overbrook photos were posted 58 months ago: A female pupil of Overbrook (photo posted in Nov. 2012):

  NYT of August 10, 1913 select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F60F10FD3A5F1373... An extensive piece about a blind man, with a quote: "at the Overbrook School in Philadelphia, where I studied ..." So it looks as though the name change in 1946 may have been recognition that it was usually referred to as "the Overbrook school."
