Carte-de-visite depicting actor Charles James Mathews as four characters in his play 'Captain Patter'. All the characters are depicted half length, with two facing the left, two facing the right, and Mathews in the middle facing the viewer. He wears a double-breasted jacket, black bow tie, white shirt and a pair of spectacles hang on a chain round his neck. The top left character wears an officer's uniform and hat; top right wears a jacket, waistcoat, white shirt and black cravat; bottom left wears a buttoned-up coat and holds a piece of cloth in his left hand; and the bottom right wears a light-coloured jacket, shirt, bow tie and holds what looks like a comb in his hands.
