Sir Arthur Pearson on St. Dunstans Day, Trafalgar Square
Sir Arthur Pearson (1866-1921), English newspaper and magazine publisher, seen at his wifes stall in Trafalgar Square on St. Dunstans Day. Sir Arthur founded St. Dunstans hostel for blinded soldiers and sailors during the First World War to aid rehabilitation of men who had lost their sight during the conflict. Blind himself, he never considered blindness an affliction. Instead, he thought of it as a handicap which through patience and perserverance could be surmounted. It was a maxim that was embodied in the spirit of St. Dunstans and led to Pearson being lauded, the blind leader of the blind. Date: 1919
