Description
Herman Melville (1819 - 1891), best known for his novel Moby-Dick, was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist, and poet. After a fast-blooming literary success in the late 1840s, his popularity declined precipitously in the mid-1850s. It was not until the "Melville Revival" in the early 20th century that his work won recognition, especially Moby-Dick, which was hailed as one of the literary masterpieces of both American and world literature. The profile of Herman Melville was taken by an unknown photographer in 1860. This is a modified version of the original photographic reproduction that itself is now in the public domain as its copyright has expired.
