Tangible Typography: Or How The Blind Read (1853)

Tangible Typography: Or How The Blind Read (1853) is a book written by Edmund C. Johnson. The book explores the use of tactile methods of reading and writing for the blind, specifically through the use of raised letters and embossed printing. Johnson discusses the history of tactile reading, including the contributions of Louis Braille, and argues that this method of reading is superior to the traditional method of using raised letters on paper. He also provides practical advice for creating tactile books and materials for the blind, including the use of different textures and materials. Overall, Tangible Typography is an important historical work that sheds light on the development of methods for making reading accessible to the blind.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
