Blind Bowling Fifty Guide Institution Light House Ninth Starting
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determination and resilience of Thomas Gilmartin as he takes part in a bowling game at the Lighthouse, an institution for the blind, located at 111 East Fifty-ninth Street in New York City during 1944. The Lighthouse was a pioneering organization that provided education, training, and rehabilitation services to blind and visually impaired individuals, enabling them to lead independent and productive lives. In this image, Gilmartin, an American veteran, focuses intently on the game, his expression a blend of concentration and enjoyment. The guide rail on the left of the lane serves as a crucial aid for him, ensuring he stays on course as he releases the ball. The simple pleasure of bowling, a pastime enjoyed by many, takes on a new meaning in this context, representing a small victory in the face of adversity. The photograph, taken in the heart of New York City, underscores the spirit of the city's vibrant and diverse community. The hustle and bustle of the metropolis outside the institution's walls are a stark contrast to the tranquility within, where individuals like Gilmartin found solace and support. This powerful image is a testament to the human spirit and the importance of community and perseverance, making it a poignant and inspiring addition to any collection.
