Mark- there is another dag of Cartwright, but the original has never been found. This copy was given to me by Anne Cartwright in the 1990's. It depicts Alexander with his two daughters, Kate Lee Cartwright and Mary Groesbeck. The approximate date is 1852.
It's a truly wonderful image. Among daguerreotype collectors, images with well dressed children always command a premium. When they are the children of a famous American, all the more so. I think this is a truly transcendent photograph, and hope that some day the original will surface. |

A cropped version of that image appears in the Nucciarone bio of Cartwright. The dag is probably gone, but you never know.

My question is how did they make the photo of the dag, unless they had the dag? They didn't make a copy and then throw out the original.

The photo of the dag could have been made in the 19th century.
