Walt_Whitman_-_George_Collins_Cox - from our story 'Walt Whitman Leading Light Of America’s First Gay Bar: The New York Bohemians Who Made Good At Pfaff’s'

American poet Walt Whitman. This image was made in 1887 in New York, by photographer George C. Cox. The image is said to have been Whitman's favorite from the photo-session; Cox published about seven images for Whitman, who so admired this image that he even sent a copy to the poet Tennyson in England. Whitman sold the other copies.
