FTA:
The photograph, shot in July 1888 in Brewster, shows an 8-year-old Helen sitting outside in a light-colored dress, holding Sullivan's hand and cradling one of her beloved dolls.
Experts on Keller's life believe it could be the earliest photo of the two women together and the only one showing the blind and deaf child with a doll â;; the first word Sullivan spelled for Keller after they met in 1887 â;; according to the New England Historic Genealogical Society, which now has the photo.
I have always been fascinated with Helen Keller, read her bio when i was just a kid!
