Early 1860s. J.W. Black, Black and Batchelder, Boston (same
clothes as previous photo). Not in Saunders. Courtesy Bayley
Collection, Ohio Wesleyan University. Writing
in 1860 about his trip to Boston, Whitman said, "I create an
immense
sensation in Washington street. Everybody here is so like
everybody else--and I am Walt Whitman!--Yankee curosity and
cuteness, for once, is thoroughly stumped, confounded,
petrified, made desperate." J. W. Black's gallery was on
Washington Street, known as the "photography row" of Boston.
