= Extremely rare primer for the blind containing fables. No copies in worldcat (title listed, but no copies available in any library worldwide). Surprisingly late example of a primer for the blind printed in Roman capital embossed type, published many decades after the invention of braille script. Louis Braille published his writing system in 1829, but it was not recognized as the official writing system for people who were blind in France until 1854 and in English-speaking countries until 1932. British educators only began to endorse braille from 1870 and in the United States reading material for the blind was exclusively printed in Roman embossed capitals until 1885 and kept in print even till the 1920s, even though in the mid-1870s, a team of teachers and graduates at Perkins School for The Blind in Massachusetts (US - the eldest US school for the blind) compared all the embossed and point writing systems, determined to identify the best. Braille was the unqualified winner. A reason for the late adoption of Braille was that teachers sometimes claimed that they resisted arbitrary code systems like braille or New York Point because they “constituted an additional barrier between blind and sighted people; another that educators were simply unwilling to memorize a new set of symbols. In Europe also a number of competing formats were developed and in use, such as the Engelmann-Lenz System and the Klein-Stachelschrift.The Königliche Blindenanstalt was founded as the Preussisch-Königlichen Blindenanstalt in 1806 by König Friedrich Wilhelm III and was the first school for the visually impaired in Germany.
