In Illzach, France, Martin Kunz directed an institute for the blind and developed tactile graphics to aid visual learning. His embossed designs, depicting a variety of flora and fauna, were crafted using a hand-carved mold process that involved soaking paper to create raised illustrations. These graphics came with braille descriptions, making Kunz's work pivotal in educational tools for visually impaired students. His contributions continue to be preserved at the Perkins School for the Blind, showcasing the effectiveness of inclusive design in education.
Martin Kunz’s embossed graphics revolutionized education for visually impaired students, providing them tactile engagement with nature and geography through intricately designed illustrations accompanied by braille.
Kunz hand-carved molds for each graphic by soaking thick paper and pressing it into shape, allowing it to stretch into detailed representations of plants and animals.
