This carte de visite shows a head-and-shoulders portrait of someone identified only as Jones, photographed facing the camera. The albumen print was made in 1865 by Harry Fowler.

The record provides no further information about the sitter's full name, occupation, or reason for being photographed. Similarly, while Harry Fowler is credited as the photographer, no additional details about his work or studio are documented here.

The photograph survives as a small card-mounted print in the carte de visite format, a popular style for portrait photography during this period.
