WHITMAN, WALT
(1819 - 1892) American poet whose volume of verse Leaves of Grass was initially rejected by the public and cost him his job in the federal government. It was only in his later years that his genius became recognized world-wide. Excellent S.P., approx. 4 3/4" x 7" sepia (likely a cabinet photo), a fine waist, up pose of Whitman seated at a desk with his head resting in his hand as he looks to his right. At bottom is his huge, bold and clear black ink signature "Walt Whitman". One tiny blemish at center-left of his chest is barely discernable, else very good to fine. Double-matted and set in a gilt wood frame, ready for display.
