Louis Braille was born on January 4, 1809 in Coupvray, near Paris, France. He was a French
educator who developed a system of printing and writing, called Braille, that is extensively used by
the blind.
Braille was himself blinded at the age of three in an accident that occurred while he was playing
with tools in his father’s harness shop. A tool slipped and plunged into his right eye. Nevertheless, he
became a notable musician and excelled as an organist. Upon receiving a scholarship, he went in
1819 to Paris to attend the National Institute for Blind Children, and from 1826 he taught there.
Braille became interested in a system of writing, exhibited at the school by Charles Barbier, in
which a message coded in dots symbolizing phonetic sounds was embossed on cardboard. When he
was 15, he worked out an adaptation, written with a simple instrument, that met the needs of the
sightless. He later took this system, which consists of a six-dot code in various combinations, and
adapted it to musical notation. He published a treatise on his type system in 1829, and in 1837 he
published a three-volume Braille edition of a popular history schoolbook. During the last years of his
life Braille was ill with tuberculosis. He died at the age of 43 in Paris.
