réf. 43571Boston : Thayer & Eldridge, 1860 [New York, Richard Worthington, 1861/1880]. Un volume 12x19cm pleine percaline violette gravée à froid de fers spéciaux en reliure de l’éditeur. IV-456 pages avec le portrait de Whitman en frontispice. Contrefaçon de la troisième édition augmentée de 121 poèmes notamment Chants Democratic, Enfans d’Adam, Calamus et A Word out of the Sea. Tirage pirate, non daté, réalisé entre les années 1860 et 1880 par Richard Worthington, qui racheta les plaques de la reliure et du texte suite à la faillite de Thayer & Eldridge en 1861. Ce piratage fit connaître largement Whitman, qui ne poursuivit pas en justice Worthington, la légende voulant qu’il eut fini par en percevoir des royalties. Bel exemplaire.
