This image was made in [[1887]] in [[New York]]. Currently vended commercially by [[picture library]] [http://www.corbis.com|[Corbis],]; the image was apparently originally in the collection of [[Charles E. Feinberg]], and then entered the collection of the New York [[Museum of Modern Art]] under curator [[John Szarkowski]]. Walt Whitman died in 1892, therefore this picture is likely to have lapsed into the public domain.

The image is said to have been Whitman's favorite from the [[George C. Cox]] photo-session, there were about seven images made at that time. Whitman greatly admired this image, and sent a copy to the poet [[Tennyson]] in [[England]].
