Dear Anthony,
DeleteThanks for your email.
When I chose the photo in question it seemed an unusual image of Melville.
Tracking down my source, I see that the URL contains Melville's name so that another blogger's error became my own.

Thanks to your correction, I have changed the photo on my blog post so that Melville is clearly represented. http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2014/08/herman-melville-comments-on-italian.html
Thanks again!
