Original caption: “At each step in history there was always a handful of individuals who saw beyond the man of his time and dreamed of a future when men would be capable of much greater acts in various realms, e.g., the social, moral, and intellectual spheres. Without this handful of individuals it is unpleasant to contemplate how things might have turned out."
