At the Perkins Institution, Caswell learned to write, read braille, and hone his talents as a wood-worker. His diary entries from this time also reveal his engagement with everyday activities, such as playing with a friend in the rain, eating pudding, and musing over long words. Edouart captured Caswell seated at a table, fingering the tines on a fork. A teacup and toy house rest on the table in an elaborate parlor."}, {"label": "Exhibition Label", "content": "Auguste Edouart describe a Oliver Caswell como \u00e2\u0080\u009cciego, sordo y mudo\u00e2\u0080\u009d, pero a pesar de que no pod\u00c3\u00ada ver ni o\u00c3\u00adr, Caswell aprendi\u00c3\u00b3 a hablar.
