Post Card Portraits

Which Studios produced Post Card Portraits/

Below are some of the post card portraits that I have seen from Edinburgh studios, together with addresses and brief comments on examples that I have seen.

Some of these portraits have still to be added to the EdinPhoto web site.  If there are any that you would particularly like to see, please e-mail me so that I can add them.

NOTES

Very few of these post cards have been posted.  So in most cases there are no postmarks on the backs to give an indication of when the post cards may have been produced or sold.  

However almost all these photographers have appeared in the  Edinburgh Trade Directories so I have been able to give their dates of operation in the professional photographers' section of this web site.

All the cards above are post-card size photos.  All have the legend POST CARD on the back, except those from Barrie, Burlington Studios, Greenfield and Los Angeles Portrait Studio whose cards do not bear this legend.
