Around 1867. Mathew Brady, Washington (Library of Congress copy is imprinted by Brady's New York studio). Saunder's #26. Courtesy the J. Paul Getty Museum, where it is dated around 1875 and ascribed perhaps to Alexander Gardner in the Brady studio. Whitman recalls that he was wearing what was called his "sauce-pan hat," and asked about this photo, "How do you like that for free and easy?" He went on to wonder, "Is that the picture of a tough? Maybe I am not sensitive--maybe I am a tough. . . ." |
