Designer’s Note

Quotation from poet Walt Whitman that evokes the sight and sounds of Brooklyn and Manhattan in the late th century, from another photograph taken by George Cox in New York, September , after Whitman delivered his lecture on Abe Lincoln. • "Crowds of men and women attired in the usual costumes, how curious you are to me! / On the ferry-boats the hundreds and hundreds that cross, returning home, are more curious to me than you suppose, / And you that shall cross from shore to shore years hence are more to me, and more in my meditations, than you might ; ➽ Try our other stores on Zazzle:
