Quarter-plate Daguerreotype photograph of Alexander Joy Cartwright (1820-1892), measuring approximately 3.5 x 4.5 inches and housed in a period thermoplastic photographic case. The photograph pictures Alexander Cartwright, circa 1855, with an unidentified gentleman, who has been tentatively identified by the Cartwright Family as prominent businessman Mr. Kerr of Honolulu and friend of Cartwright. This is one of only three daguerreotypes of Cartwright known to exist. It was given to Queen Liliuokalani during an audience with her, and she in turn present to his grandson Bruce Cartwright in 1915.
