The institution meant to serve the blind resisted it — suppressing its use and refusing to adopt it — while its students read and wrote it from the start; it was officially adopted in 1854, two years after his death. The artwork reinterprets the moment — a hand at the six-dot slate — in the tradition of French Romantic-era lithography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"…a writing system whose signs took up less room than his, were numerous enough to represent every character used in ordinary writing, and could be applied to writing music and plainsong.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— Louis Braille, preface (\u003cem\u003eAvertissement\u003c\/em\u003e) to \u003cem\u003eProcédé pour écrire les paroles, la musique et le plain-chant au moyen de points\u003c\/em\u003e (1829).
