Picture shows exhibition installation shot of Touching the Book: Embossed LIterature for Blind People, taken from the back of the room and facing the exhibition entrance at the further end of the room on the right hand side. The flooring is light wood, and the walls are painted white. The photograph shows three free-standing display cases all containing 4-5 books opened and resting on cradles; two framed items on the right hand side of the wall as well as a large vinyl graphic of Moon's alphabetic system; and information panels are installed on the wall. At the further end of the room, and to the left of the entrance, is a large fixed display cabinet with three shelves holding artifacts (books and a writing frame). To the left of the cabinet is a blank TV screen and below that a table with a red covering that has been laid out with glasses of wine. [end of description]
