Scope and Contents

In July 1878, Whitman was invited by Sarony to sit for a group of portraits; this and eight other photographs are the result. Whitman wrote Harry Stafford on the afternoon after the sitting at "the great photographic establishment" that he "had a real pleasant time". In the Library of Congress copy, Whitman erroneously dates this photograph 1872.
