Children Nigel Cholmeley-Jones and Jeanette Cholmeley-Jones with poet Walt Whitman. The children were the niece and nephew of Jeannette Gilder, editor of The Critic and a friend to both Cox (the photographer) and Whitman. Gilder had delivered the frail poet to the photographer’s studio. He had just given a lecture on Abraham Lincoln. Best known for Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman was a man of his times: complex, active, and with an interesting view of life. This photo was taken 5 years before he died. In a newly discovered letter from Whitman to Gilder, he wrote: 328 Mickle Street Camden New Jersey Sept. 13 Evn’g Cox’s photos: came today & I have written my name on them & sent them back (addressing the package to William Carey, Century office)—All are good, but the one I like best is a head with hat on, the photo marked No 3—the pictures with the children come out first-rate—Give my love to the dear girl & boy & tell them I remember them well—I am here like an old hulk driven up on the sand or floating with spars & rigging all gone, & no more voyaging—Love to Watson and Joe Walt Whitman You can see other photos from this same sitting by clicking on his name in the upper right.

Ingeborg Katarina Norell, born Stenborg, 1727, apparently in Borgå, was a Finnish craftsman's wife. She was the first woman in Finland to be awarded a medal for saving a life. Norelli's father is said to have been Hans Stenborg, a saddle maker from Borgå. She married in 1764 the goldsmith Carl Gustaf Norell, formerly Norelius (1738-1782), with whom she had three children. The Norell couple lived first in Borgå and then in Fredrikshamn until 1768. After her husband's death in 1782, Norell travelled to Pojo, but her further life is unknown. On April 8, 1780, an accident occurred in the village of Tenhola in Germundi, when a two-year-old girl fell into a well and was thought to have drowned. 53-year-old Norell happened to be there. She had read an almanac published by the predecessor of the Collegium medicum, that is, the medical board, which contained life-saving instructions. Norell began blowing and massaging the child, which continued for more than an hour with others present, until the girl finally regained consciousness, and fully recovered from the accident. Two years later, in 1782, Anders de Bruce Norell proposed the Royal Patriotic Society's prize for saving a human life. The following year she was awarded a cash prize.
