Walt Whitman was a 19th century American poet, who, along with Emily Dickinson, was influential in developing a distinctly American voice in poetry. His most famous work is the collection of poetry, Leaves of Grass. Whitman so admired this picture of himself, that he is known to have sent a copy to the poet Tennyson in England.
