EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Great Globe for Teaching" a remarkable educational tool ordered in 1833 by the Institute for Young Blind in Paris. The bronze sculpture, created by an anonymous French School artist from the 19th century, can be found at the Musee Valentin Hauy in Paris, France. The Great Globe was specifically designed to aid visually impaired students in their geographical studies. It features intricate details such as dots, lines, and writing in relief that represent various countries and regions around the world. Notably, it includes Spain, Great Britain, North Africa, Italy, and of course France. Founded in 1784 by Valentin Hauy (1745-1822), the Institute for Young Blind aimed to provide education and support for those with visual impairments. This unique globe served as an invaluable resource within their curriculum. The photograph beautifully captures a detailed section of this extraordinary globe. Its purposeful design allows blind students to explore geography through touch and braille characters. This innovative approach highlights how education can adapt to cater to different abilities. As we admire this image from Fine Art Finder's collection provided by Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate both the artistic craftsmanship behind this historical artifact and its significance as a symbol of inclusivity within education.
