Scarce vintage sepia 4 x 5.75 book photo of Whitman in his trademark hat, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “Walt Whitman, born May 31, 1819.” Matted and framed, with a clipped slip of the bottom caption of the same page, “Photo’d from life, Sept.; ’72, Brooklyn, N.Y. by G.F.E. Pearsall, Fulton St. Printed by C.F. Spieler, Phila.,” to an overall size of 6.75 x 8.5. Light silvering to the darker areas of the image only visible at an angle, and the mat obscuring the last stroke of each line, otherwise fine condition. A stunning image and bold signature from the writer who seamlessly entwined transcendentalism and realism into his free verse, transforming the literary world forever.
