Content:
Poetry manuscript titled "Pictures," approximately six lines, heavily revised. The
first few lines of this manuscript appeared, further revised, in "The Runner," first
published in the 1867 edition of
Leaves of Grass
. The middle section of the
manuscript is possibly related to "Song of the Banner at Daybreak," which was
first published in 1865 in
Drum-Taps
. A different version of last the
two lines of the manuscript appear in another poetry draft, also titled
"Pictures," now in Yale University's Beinecke Library.
The writing on the verso is not Whitman's.
