Walt Whitman Again

"ot Fheo"
Last Friday was Walt Whitman's birth.
day. and by curious coincidence on that
very day there called upon us Mr. William
Mcintosh, the artist and sculptor, who
made a bust of Walt back in 1884. Mr.
Mcintosh who was then a very young
man, had been struck by the photos Of
Walt and was eager to reproduce his
features in plaster. So he began to hang
about the Camden ferry and soon spotted
the poet.
Mr.. Mcintosh says that the ferry hands
of that day used to take great amusement
in watching Waits naive way Of riding
free of charge. He would step on the ferry
with a twinkle in his eye and evidently was
a privileged character. as he often stayed
on board several hours withou. being asked
for his fare.
Mr. Mcintosh found the poet very easy
of access and used to call at his home in
Camden for sittings. The bus: he made
showed Walt with his famous sonabrero on.
Apparently he was much attached 10 that
hat. II used to wonder whether he slept
in it," says Mr.. Mcintosh.
Mr.. Mcintosh adds that Walt was al.
most an ideal subject for sculptor. HIS
features, while strong. were very refined
and sharply modelled His hair was very
white. his complexion norid. His neglise
habit in dress is. Of course well known;
but the sculptor says that the poet gave q
strong impression Of great personal clean
illness. His hands, his linen and his clothes
were always scrupulously clean.
Mr.. McIntosh's bust was cast in plast er
by John Casseni, then one Of the cleverest
plaster men" in the country. II was sold
to a collector whom the artist only remem.
bers as Mr.. Potter" As this was prob
ably one Of the earliest busts Of Whitman,
it would lie interesting TO know what has
become of IL.
