date corrected for Whitman photograph

On May 15, 2012, I corrected a date error for one of the Whitman Archive photographs. (Ken Price identified the error.) Although the individual record view for image 017 correctly dated the photograph to 1863, in the gallery/index view the image 017 was identified as dating to 1861. Both dates now read "1863."

In addition, I updated the location information for nyp.00300--previously published on the Archive--to standardize the citation for the Oscar Lion collection.
