August Sander’s series of photographic portraits, titled People of the 20th Century, brought attention to an array of individuals from all parts of German society. In this image, Sander captured two children living at a home for the blind. This photograph was in the final part of Sander’s series, titled “The Last People,” and included those existing in the margins of modern society, such as people with disabilities.
