Rare 1888 Keller / Sullivan Photograph Comes to Light - 03-08-2008, 07:25 AM


A rare early photograph of Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan has been discovered in Boston. A staff member of the New England Historic Genealogical Society found the 1888 photograph in a large photography collection recently donated to the Society by Thaxter Spencer.

This fascinated me when I first read about it. That is just amazing....
