thevictorianlady:Victorian author Wilkie Collins photographed by Napoleon Sarony in his New York studio, c. 1873-1874.[Collins] traveled to New York and Boston to perform a series of public readings, and according to the Dictionary of National Biography, he “enjoyed the appreciative audiences, and the less formal manners, and made several new friends” on this trip. Collins, who is making rather a statement here with his luxurious fur-lined coat, is frequently shown in three-quarter profile, possibly to disguise the prominent bulge on the right side of his forehead (source). -- source link
