It was taken in New Orleans while he worked at the New Orleans Crescent. The photo may be the earliest of Whitman.

The second photo dates to 1891, making it one of the last photos of him. It was taken at the Whitman house in Camden. Those of you who have been there will probably agree it was taken in his living room where you can see the famous windowsill in the background.
