Photograph of William Burroughs by Louis Cartwright. Rubberstamp to verso [Photo by Louis C. Cartwright] and William Burroughs' signature to recto in pen, bottom-center.

Louis Cartwright was a photographer, known addict, alleged pimp, and "someone not to be trusted,” in the words of his longtime companion, Beat writer Herman Huncke. Huncke was a junkie and hustler in 1940s TIme's Square, where he met and subsequently introduced William Burroughs, Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. Cartwright was stabbed in 1994; his murder is still unsolved.
