EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a heartwarming scene at the New York Association for the Blind in 1920. The auditorium is adorned with festive decorations, including a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, adding an air of joy and celebration to the atmosphere. As the audience gathers, both children and adults eagerly await what promises to be a memorable performance. In this solemn yet enchanting setting, people are seen possibly performing a skit on stage accompanied by an organ. The sound of music fills the room as individuals with disabilities come together to enjoy this special occasion. Amongst them, young children can be spotted listening intently, their faces filled with wonderment. The American flag proudly hangs in the background, symbolizing unity and patriotism within this diverse community. This image serves as a poignant reminder that despite their visual impairments or disabilities, these individuals continue to find solace and happiness through music and shared experiences. Captured by Byron Company during his time behind the lens from 1890-1942, this silver gelatin print perfectly encapsulates an era where ornate decorations were cherished during festivities. Preserved by the Museum of the City of New York today, this photograph stands as a testament to inclusivity and resilience in early 20th century America.
