The Whitman Gallery


1891. Dr. William Reeder, Philadelphia. Saunders #115. Courtesy New York Public Library. Dr. Reeder was a physician and admirer of Whitman, and on 24 May 1891 Horace Traubel records Reeder's visit the previous night where he took "flash pictures in front & back bedrooms." This and the following photo have been wrongly attributed to Eakins; see William Innes Homer's essay cited below.
