The Braille printing press was part of the Matilda Ziegler Magazine for the Blind which was a general interest magazine for the blind and visually impaired. It was used to give people without sight access to different publications and articles in Braille, Moon type, and New York Point format. It's important in the evolution of disability accessibility in which these printed magazines and books gave many people the ability to read and understand the world better in their time. It also gave way to current development of technology such as talking books (auditory books) and insight on ways to improve accessibility for the disabled.
