This handmade pram was sold by the Braille Society, which was part of the Royal West Australian Institute for the Blind established in 1895 and located in Maylands, as the WA Industrial School for the Blind.
Run by a private board of sponsors who supported the institute financially, it allowed for the residential care and schooling of sight impaired children. There was also a workshop and living quarters for adults.
Maylands was originally a suburb within the City of Stirling until 1998 when local government boundaries were changed.
