EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Christmas Entertainment at the Normal College for the Blind, Norwood" transports us back to a heartwarming scene from 1887. Created by Percy Macquoid, this print captures a moment of joy and celebration during the holiday season. The image showcases a group of blind individuals gathered together in what appears to be a grand hall adorned with festive decorations. Despite their sightless eyes, these remarkable individuals are fully engaged in the Christmas entertainment unfolding before them. The House that Jack built takes center stage as performers bring this beloved nursery rhyme to life. This illustration not only highlights the performing arts but also sheds light on the resilience and determination of those living with disabilities. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in the face of adversity, one can find solace and happiness through shared experiences. The Normal College for the Blind in Norwood becomes an emblematic space where these extraordinary individuals come together to celebrate Christmas despite their visual impairments. This engraving beautifully captures their spirit and challenges preconceived notions about disability. Preserved within private collections today, this historic artwork continues to inspire viewers with its portrayal of inclusivity and strength amidst physical limitations. Let it serve as a testament to our collective ability to overcome obstacles and find joy in unexpected places during this special time of year.
