    "Mrs. Macy" was Helen Keller's teacher, Anne Sullivan Macy.

    wow

    The story of these to women is simply incredible. Their bond must be very strong. I wonder how accurate "The Miracle Worker" tells their story. This is a wonderful moment in time. I am glad someone was there to photograph it.

    Many people don't know that Helen Keller became deaf and blind at the age of 19 months because of an illness. She wasn't born with it; therefore, it was that much more frustrating for her when she obtained those disabilities. That was probably a cause of her being so uncooperative as a child. Anne Macy Sullivan, her teacher, is shown in the picture by her side. She helped Helen embrace her situation and learn to live to inspire others for years to come. After researching, I strongly believe she is one of the main reasons why Helen became so famous. For more information on Anne Macy Sullivan, visit the link below: www.afb.org/AnneSullivan/

    This is a very beautiful photo. Helen Keller is seeing the Library of Congress in her own way. I wonder what she is picturing in her mind.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Sitting portraits, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    "Life is nothing if not a great adventure," said Helen Keller in her autobiography. What a brilliant woman to break through her disability to touch the world. Great reading.

    the 1913 International Flower show related to these photos was held at the Grand central palace. Unfortunately the building was demolished and I can't find any record of the eagles. The International Flower Show, co-sponsored with the New York Florist’s Club, was the grandest of the shows produced by The Horticultural Society. It was held at Grand Central Palace from 1913 to 1953 and later at The New York Coliseum through 1970. www.hsny.org/about_history.html

    I'm a little bit obsessed with ASM. Haha.

    I also have to say that she is given way less credit than she should be. Where would Helen Keller have gotten without her? Exactly!
