1887. George C. Cox, New York. Not in Saunders. Courtesy Ohio
Wesleyan University, Bayley Collection. With Nigel and
Catherine Cholmeley-Jones, the nephew and niece of Jeannette
Gilder, editor of The Critic, who
accompanied Whitman to Cox's
studio. Gilder was a friend of both Whitman and Cox, and she
would end up raising these children after the death of their
mother. This and the following three photos echo the 1879
Kurtz photos of Whitman with Harry and Kitty Johnston; Cox saw
these
children as "soul extensions" of Whitman.
