<b>1400. (HELEN KELLER) </b>(1880 - 1968) American author who overcame her lack of sight, speech and hearing to write inspirational accounts of her life. An incredible Keller grouping, comprising 29 original vintage photographs and six glass plate negatives, taken ca. 1912 by The Whitman Studio in Malden, Mass. The photographs, largely in 8" x 10" sepia format, show Keller in a variety of wonderful tableaux, including natural scenes, informal portraits with her teacher Anne Sullivan, reading Braille, lounging with her pet dog, as well as several elegant formal studio portraits wearing beautiful gowns and taken in classic poses. Included is a 7" x 9" sepia formal head and shoulders of Anne Sullivan. In addition, the grouping includes the original 8" x 10" glass negatives of five of the portraits! Several photographs are mounted, two are framed, and a couple bear a bit of creasing and slight marginal loss, overall in very good condition. A marvelous offering!<b>$2,500-3,500</b>
