The Whitman Gallery


1878. Napoleon Sarony, New York. Saunders #89. Courtesy Ohio Wesleyan University, Bayley Collection. Sarony was known for his amazing (and often bizarre) collection of settings, backdrops, and props; in this and the following photo WW is cast into the world of Sarony's illusions. Also apparent in these two photos are Sarony's unconventional posing techniques.
