The Whitman Gallery


Late 1860s? Photographer unknown: perhaps William Kurtz, whose style this photo suggests, though some copies identify it as a Brady. Saunders #19. Courtesy Charles E. Feinberg. If it is a Kurtz, it must be dated 1865 or later; Saunders dates it 1862, and some copies are dated by WW in 1863. WW wrote, "I confess to myself a perhaps capricious fondness for it."
