A signed engraving used in Leaves of Grass

Walt Whitman, c.1855

WHITMAN, Walt (1819-1892). Engraving signed ("Walt Whitman"), no place, c.1855.



Signed in blue pencil and dated 1855, 255 x 164mm (mat burn, toned with mounting remnants on verso).



A beautifully signed engraving from the frontispiece of Leaves of Grass. The engraving, depicting a youthful Whitman in early middle age, is based on a now-lost daguerreotype by Gabriel Harrison and appeared opposite the full title page of his privately-printed 1855 first edition.
