The Whitman Gallery


1878. Napoleon Sarony, New York. Saunders #57. Courtesy Ohio Wesleyan University, Bayley Collection. Of this photo, WW said, "It is one of my good-humored pictures. . . . This is strong enough to be right and gentle enough to be right, too: I like to be both: I wouldn't like people to say 'he is a giant' and then forget I know how to love."
