| Note: | Included here among the photographs because of its familiarity and because it is the only
likeness of himself not based on a photograph that Whitman used in his books. Whitman called
it "characteristic," and noted that "I was in full bloom then:
weighed two hundred and ten pounds—” ...in those years I was in the best health: not
a thing amiss." |
