EUROPE
In 1815, Thomas Gallaudet travelled to Europe to study methods of teaching deaf students. This European journey led him to France, giving him an education in sign language he would bring back to America. As Gallaudet and Clerc make several appearances in my ASL dictionary, I cast instead a European model to show off one of the ASL hand signs for Europe, the star pattern on her dress matching the continent’s flag. Palm forward, the E hand arcs in a counter-clockwise circle, like the circle of twelve golden stars on Europe’s flag.
