Rare sepia 4.25 x 5.75 book photo, signed in black ink, “Walt Whitman 1880.” Photo is affixed to a 4.25 x 7.25 off-white card bearing printed information about this photograph: “Photo’d from life, Sept.; ’72, Brooklyn, N.Y. by G.F.E. Pearsall, Fulton St. Printed by C.F. Spieler, Phila.” This photograph was removed from the second printing of the First Edition of Whitman’s ‘Two Rivulets’ which was published in 1876 with the sixth edition of Leaves of Grass as part of a two-volume set known as the Centennial edition. A strip was added to the reverse of the card to attach it to the book’s binding. Small tear to top edge, light vertical crease along right edge, lightly affecting last letter of signature, and some light silvering, visible only at an angle, otherwise fine condition. A boldly signed example.
