Rare photo of Emily Dickinson released to public.

What makes it so rare? It's only the second photo of her known to exist.

Believed to be taken in 1860, the daguerreotype apparently shows a 30-year old Dickinson with her friend, and possible lover, Kate Scott Turner.

The only known photo of Dickinson known to exist before this was from 1847.

The 1860(ish) photo, with Dickinson on the left:


Emily Dickinson or Kim Kardashian?

I'm confused.
