EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases an intriguing artifact from the late 19th century: a Sign Language Card, also known as Dactylologie, used for communication among the deaf and mute community during that era. The image reveals a meticulously arranged set of cards, each one displaying a distinct sign from the manual alphabet. Sign language, a vital means of communication for those who are deaf or hard of hearing, has a rich history that predates the 19th century. However, it was during this time that various attempts were made to standardize and document the system, leading to the creation and widespread use of sign language cards. These cards served as a practical tool for teaching sign language and facilitating communication between individuals who might not have had the opportunity to learn it in person. The manual alphabet depicted on these cards consists of a series of distinct handshapes, each representing a specific letter or sound. The signs are arranged in a logical order, making it easier for learners to grasp the basics of sign language. The cards themselves are often made of thick, durable material, allowing them to withstand frequent handling and use. This photograph print offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing insight into the communication methods employed during a time when accessibility and inclusion were not yet commonplace. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of the deaf and mute community, who, despite facing significant challenges, found ways to communicate effectively and connect with one another. The use of sign language cards like these played a crucial role in fostering a sense of community and empowering individuals to overcome the barriers of communication.
