Whittier


Something

John Greenleaf Whittier was a 19th century American poet and anti-slavery campaigner. Such was his fame that towns were named after him and yet today he is largely forgotten. These images are taken from the portraits of Whittier in the six-volume complete works published in 1888. The printed engravings portray him at different ages; the discoloured paper and fading likenesses show the effects of age and decay, the arrow of time.
