1887. Frank P. Harned, Camden. Saunders #96. Courtesy Ohio Wesleyan
University, Bayley Collection. Frank Harned was
the brother of Thomas Harned, Whitman's close friend and one of his
literary executors. Horace Traubel dates the photo 1886 or
1887 and identifies Frank Harned as the photographer; Whitman
signed
one copy in June 1887. This and the following are the first
photos of Whitman in his home. Whitman
liked Harned, but did not care for his photographs: "I don't
know why--never do. I have feelings about things, nothing
more."
