    The Overbrook School for the Blind still exists. I used to live down the street from it.

    Helen Keller? Did someone really tag this with Helen Keller? Jeez.
  • drago. said:
    Wasn't it kind of dangerous to stack blind people into pyramids like that?

    This shot was taken a split second before hilarity ensued.
  • Jim Porter said:
    Well, at least he's going to land on the side with the cushion.
  • Chris said:
    Odd caption. They didn't copy the wrong spelling of athletes as "athlets" as it is written on the original photo (that's the policy in some places), but they did their own spelling version instead, viz, "atheletes". I blame the Greeks. They started it all — phthsis, indeed!
  • Alex Behr said:
    yeah, fix the typo on the photo title.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks! We'll fix the typo in the source data and reload the description

    Would be a great history lesson to compare the workspace here. In the 1960 I worked in a setup much like this.

    • English. The picture shows a working woman. Considering her blindness, one thinks life was not fair with her. But all of us are in one sense or another limited beings. If looking at this picture, Ortega y Gasset may have said that that she lacking of is precisely what supports her. The photograph may not show a famous person, but it shows a working one—somebody that went beyond natural injustice and apparently transcended it too. • Castellano rioplatense. Con los auriculares puestos, esta taquígrafa ciega de principios del siglo XX fue fotografiada mientras trabajaba. Al considerar su ceguera, uno piensa que la vida no fue justa con ella. Pero, de alguna manera u otra, todos somos seres limitados. Importante es lo que hacemos con lo que la vida sí nos dio. Lo que nos falta es lo que nos sostiene, decía Ortega y Gasset. Esta foto acaso no muestre un ser famoso, pero muestra una taquígrafa ciega en plena labor. La imagen sugiere que ella, a la Naturaleza, la trascendió.
