View of a library with a young girl leading a man with closed eyes carrying a very large volume. In the background a man reads a raised type or braille volume with his fingers. Text: The Public Library of Stepney was the first to establish in London a section devoted to books for the blind. The department, although quite a new departure, is already greatly prized by those for whom it is intended, who sorely need additions to their reading store.
