The Whitman Gallery


1880. Frederick Gutekunst, Philadelphia. Not in Saunders. Courtesy Library of Congress. Obviously same sitting as above photo. Looking at this photo, Whitman said, "how weak! how sizzled out! I like it, passably: but it is not one of the best. Perhaps . . . there is enough of me to survive even the worst ordeal: I hope so. . . ."
