Given a graded partially ordered set P, let wk(P) and Wk(P) denote its Whitney numbers of the first and second kind respectively. We call a graded partially ordered set Q a Whitney Dual of P if |wK(P)| = WK(Q) and Wk(P) = |wk(Q)| for all k. In this extended abstract, we show that every geometric lattice has a Whitney dual. This is done constructively, using edge labelings and quotient posets.
