The Whitman Gallery


1887. George C. Cox, New York. Saunders #92. Courtesy Ohio Wesleyan University, Bayley Collection. In his Daybooks, Whitman records looking through the proofs of the Cox session; he singles out this profile as well as #102 below as "very good." These two photos are the ones Whitman felt were salvageable from the Cox session: "they are not all of them satisfactory to me: I had eight or ten and kept only two."
