Irving Bertman presents a bouquet to Helen Keller at a flower show, placing the deaf-blind author and lecturer at the center of a public garden event. Keller, who learned to communicate through touch and became one of the most recognized public figures of her era, made frequent appearances at fundraisers and public events in the early twentieth century. The Bain News Service, a commercial photo agency, sold pictures like this one to newspapers, so the scene reflects how everyday news photography covered public life of the period. The date isn't recorded, and the caption is unverified.
