1891. Either Thomas Eakins or Samuel Murray, Philadelphia.
Saunders #123. Courtesy Hirshhorn Musuem and Sculpture Garden,
Smithsonian Instituion. This photo was ascribed to
Eakins when it was printed in the Small, Maynard edition of
Leaves (1898), but it is very similar to the following two
photos, the second of which is clearly ascribed
to Murray. At this point, Whitman had a wolf-skin draped across the
back of his
rocker in the first-floor parlor of his home, where this was
taken.
