Captain Stewart of Ashcraig
26 June 1861

Volume 4, page 135, sitting number 4612.

The Silvy daybooks identify the sitter as 'Capt. Stewart of Ashcraig'. He was further identified as 'David J. Stewart' by his signature on a piece of paper pasted onto the album page beneath the portrait. The adjacent carte was a portrait of his wife, Anna D. Stewart.

[The carte comes from an album compiled by Margaret Tootal, wife of Edward Tootal of Weaste near Manchester, formerly a cotton manufacturer, and second daughter of James Kennedy of Ancoats near Manchester, also a cotton manufacturer.]
