Description:
[1877]. Manuscript. Several small ink stains not affecting the text, a few short tears, the second page split along the fold about halfway. Good. Two 7-3/4" x 11-1/2" ruled sheets written on rectos only of an original poem by Miller consisting of 5 nine-line stanzas, completely in Miller's hand and SIGNED by him at the conclusion. First published in the January 1877 issue of THE GALAXY, the poem begins: "O Titan soul, ascend your starry steep/On golden stair to gods and storied men!/Ascend! nor care where thy traducers creep,/For what may well be said of prophets when/A world that's wicked comes to call them good./Ascend and sing! As kings of thought who stood/On stormy heights and held far lights to men,/Stand thou and shout above the tumbled roar/Lest brave ships drive and break against the shore./What though thy sounding song be roughly set?/Parnassus' Self is rough...." One word is added and one entire line is crossed out. This poem was found among the papers of journalist William Conant Church…

Description:
1891. First Edition. Framed Etching. Some age discoloration on the mat not extending to the print. A Fine example of this superb and now uncommon image. Fine Drypoint Proof Etching by Thomas Johnson, SIGNED by Johnson in pencil, after a photograph by George Cox of Walt Whitman head and shoulders wearing his wide-brimmed hat, seated, with a flowing beard, turned towards the artist. Matted and framed to an overall size of 15-1/2" x 18" with the actual image size 7-3/8" x 9-7/8" and the visual etching size not covered by the mat 10-1/4" x 12-1/2." Said to have been Whitman's favorite and sometimes called "The Laughing Philosopher," it has become one of the best-known images of Whitman. English-born artist Thomas Johnson lived and worked in the United States, producing a number of engravings and etchings of famous Americans such as Whitman, Lincoln, Bryant, Francis Scott Key, and George and Martha Washington.
