FTA:
The photograph, shot in July 1888 in Brewster, shows an 8-year-old Helen sitting outside in a light-colored dress, holding Sullivan's hand and cradling one of her beloved dolls.
Experts on Keller's life believe it could be the earliest photo of the two women together and the only one showing the blind and deaf child with a doll â;; the first word Sullivan spelled for Keller after they met in 1887 â;; according to the New England Historic Genealogical Society, which now has the photo.
I have always been fascinated with Helen Keller, read her bio when i was just a kid!

  I started out doing black and white photography when I was a young man. The quality of that photographic is also remarkable to survive this long.

    I know, i thought so too. Maybe being in that book for so many years without being handled. It may have been electronically enhanced too. If that's the right way of saying it.

      It depends on the process, but quite a few of them could easily survive the time, especially if kept away from the damaging effects of sunlight. You can't say the same for most ink-jet prints these days.
      Part of the quality is in the camera-type used, as well.
      A lovely picture. Both beautiful, strong, inspiring women.
