This vibrant lithograph captures the lively atmosphere of an assembly ball, as Blind Jack skillfully plays his fiddle. The image, created by Henry Justice Ford, is a delightful illustration for The Strange Story Book by Mrs Lang. Blind Jack, also known as Blind Jack of Knaresborough, stands at the center of attention amidst the swirling dancers and elegant decor. Despite his visual impairment, he exudes confidence and passion through his music. His sightless eyes are a testament to his resilience in overcoming adversity. The scene depicts not only the joyous celebration of dance but also highlights the inclusivity and acceptance within this social gathering.

Ford's use of color brings life to every element in this composition - from the intricate details on Blind Jack's fiddle to the intricately designed costumes worn by each dancer. The energy emanating from this print is palpable; it transports viewers into a world where music transcends physical limitations. This artwork serves as a reminder that everyone has something unique to offer regardless of their circumstances or abilities.
