The Whitman Gallery


Around 1870. G. Frank Pearsall, Brooklyn. Saunders #31. Courtesy Ohio Wesleyan University, Bayley Collection. This photo has often been dated around 1869, but Pearsall's Fulton St. gallery is not listed in directories until 1872, and the similarity of this photo to the ones following suggests they may have all been taken in one sitting. The Library of Congress copy is dated on the back in unknown hand, 1870.
