Christmas Nostalgia # 29
Nativity
Dec 1924.
A group of blind people in various costumes (shepherds and angels) in a yard beside some large corrugated iron buildings. The photo is associated with the photos of visits to Sunderland Museum by Sunderland Council School for the Blind, this will be a nativity play they were in.
"To them, their fingers are eyes"
From 1913, John Alfred Charlton Deas, a former curator at Sunderland Museum, organized several handling sessions for the blind, first offering an invitation to the children from the Sunderland Council Blind School, to handle a few of the collections at Sunderland Museum, which was "eagerly accepted".
