Civil War Tintype Photo of Famed Confederate Doctor Dr. Samuel A. Cartwright:
$899.99
This is a very rare tintype of one of the most esteemed doctors of his time. Cartwright is remembered for his contributions to mental health and germ theory. His work changed the way both Yellow Fever and Cholera were treated. Still, his most salient work was describing methods of keeping slaves disease free. He was a highly published author and in demand speaker. Louisiana State houses most of his archive.
Previously a Surgeon under General Andrew Jackson, Cartwright also served as an advisor to Jefferson Davis and was asked to be Confederate Surgeon General. He instead chose to tend to troops at Port Hudson and Vicksburg due to poor health.
This photo was taken prior to 1863 since that was the year of his passing in Jackson, MS.
This tintype is in a box of some synthetic material. It features an image of two US battleships on the cover, reminiscent of the revolutionary or War of 1812. The image is a little dirty, but crisp.
Obviously identified tintypes are rare, particularly those depicting CSA staff. This is a rare opportunity to own the original image of one of the foremost doctors of the Civil War.
