Catalog of an exhibition held April 4-October 21, 2016, The Library Company of Philadelphia.
"Common touch ... is a multimedia exhibition that looks at historical embossed and raised letter documents for the visually impaired as a starting point for a multisensory exploration of the nature of perception. Inspired by her research in the Library Company's Michael Zinman Collecting of Printing for the Blind, artist-in-residence Teresa Jaynes combines her own original works with historical collections that document the education of the blind in the 19th century"--Page 3.
