Writings of Charles S. Peirce
Volume 8
On 12 August 1892, the sophisticated art periodical Sun and Shade published this photogravure of Peirce with a biographical note extolling his achievements as a scientist and mathematician. The gravure had been made from a photograph taken the year before by the famous photographer Napoleon Sarony (1821–1896). The Sun and Shade featured a few figures in each issue, generally favoring literary types—earlier issues, for example, had featured James Russell Lowell, Lew Wallace, Walt Whitman, and W. D. Howell.
