Answer 1

You can check these out and see if the illustrations are evocative of "your" Whitman.

There is a reference to an A. Whitman's illustration in a book a website I located. (It was printed in 1959.)

Answer 2

I took art all the way thru school and was urged to attend an art school anywhere I chose, but I wasn't interested then. I have a natural eye for balance, color and arrangment and am good at decorating anything. But I do not paint, sketch or sculpt anymore.
