Description: Wonderful candid photograph of poet Joaquin Miller, his daughter, grandson, and another woman taken by Sausalito photographer Isabel Porter Collins (originally Isabel Margaret Porter) in 1898. Notated on the back: "Joaquin Miller & Family, Aloysious McCormick, with daughter who married the moon" (!). It measures 4.75" by 6.5" on thin glossy stock and with slight bowing. (Photograph does not have purple watermark). This is from her Collins' personal collection. I also am listing a larger version of this photo where she has said the photo was taken by her and dated it 1898. That photo has the woman on the left cropped out---but I am assuming this is Miller's sister, as she looks like him and is about the same age (his wife was dead by this time). In addition to the pencil notation, Collins has stamped it with her name on the back. Collins attended the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art in San Francisco about 1898 and perhaps that is where she met Joaquin. I will be listing more original photographs from her collection this week. From Wikipedia: Cincinnatus Heine Miller (1837 – 1913), better known by his pen name Joaquin Miller was an American poet, author, and frontiersman. He is nicknamed the "Poet of the Sierras" after the Sierra Nevada, about which he wrote in his Songs of the Sierras.
