Quarter-plate ambrotype photograph of Alexander Joy Cartwright, measuring approximately 3.5 x 4.5 inches and housed in period thermoplastic photographic case. The man at left is thus far unidentified while the man on the left is Cartwright's brother Alfred. This is one of only five or six photographs known to exist of Cartwright as a young man (there are approximately the same number of additional images known featuring him in his latter years). This image was taken in approximately 1860 when Cartwright was in Hawaii, and is one of only two Ambrotype photographs of him known to exist.
