This view looks to the west along Portobello Promenade towards Tower
Street and the funfair beyond. The card has not been sent through
the post, but the number on the card indicates that the photograph was
taken in 1919.
George G Morrison's photographic studio is in the foreground, at No 21
Promenade. The studio was at this address from 1912 until 1928.
George G Morrison and his
son George Morrison produced many
postcard portraits
from their studios in Edinburgh and Portobello in the 20th century.
