A mystery find…
This is an amazing map of Deaf and blind school locations, and travel times between them by different methods, in 1837. But I have no source. It was given to me as a photocopy, and I’ve never been able to find out where it came from. It’s from a German text, and clearly not from 1837 but much later… Can anyone help?

Hi Mike —
It’s Nothwendigkeit der allgemein einzuführenden Elementar-Bildung der Taubstummen by Franz Herrmann Czech, (P. P. Mechitaristen, 1839).

Thanks Anne, this is brilliant. Do we have any idea how the data for the book was constructed… it seems to match the 4th circulaire from the Paris school, even down to the errors!

I DL’ed a copy of another book last year from some Digitale Bibliothek or another, with the same image, if you want that info.

Sure, and yes it’s Bebian stuff (see p. 39). Sorry I can’t reply on Deaf History FB — my join request is in a 1000+ long list.

The artist on all the Bilder seems to be the same guy, but I think my Bibliothek copy is more legible. Meanwhile, see p. 410:
“Tabelle 72 enthält die Uebersicht aller, sowohl der im Jahre 1837 bestandenen, als auch vor dem eingegangenen oder in andere Orte verlegten Anstalten, zur Bildung der Taubstummen und Blinden, wie auch zur Bildung der Taubstummen-Lehrer.”

The engravers are a “L. Rieder” and a “Piekacz”. The DL’ed book I have is pretty much the same: http://daten.digitale-sammlungen.de/~db/0001/bsb00013608/images/index.html?id=00013608&seite=518&fip=193.174.98.30&nativeno=%2F&groesser=150%25

Sorry I keep spamming this post. As referenced on FB, I see Bristol has it, but I also own a copy of Fischer & Lane (eds.) Looking Back: A Reader on D Communities and their SLs. The image appears in Pinna, Pagliara, Rampelli, Rossinia, and Volterra’s “Written and Unwritten Records from a Residential School for the Deaf in Rome” (pp. 349-376). No additional information about the data.

I have a copy of ‘looking back’ and I’ve found it in there, but it has no original source, and as a historian… that bugs me.

Oh, Mike. So many things bug me re: history’s shadow economy. Problem is, this otherwise great article aside — first slapdash attempts rushed to press metastasize into all subsequent citations. What’s that formula about the exponential energy required to fix scholarshi*, relative to the calories expended to produce it?
