Charles Hayes was photographed once by Thomas J. Nevin on release in September 1875. The same image in these two cartes was printed at different times from Nevin’s original glass negative. In the top carte, Hayes’ image was straightened, eliminating the lean to the right in the carte below.
The carte above bears the inscription on verso, per NLA catalogue notes:
Inscription: “98 ; William Hayes, per Asia, taken at Port Arthur, 1874″–In ink on verso.
Condition: Some foxing.
