Only
one photographic studio advertised in the Caledonian Mercury
newspaper in 1842 and early 1843. It was 19
Princes Street (using the original spelling of the street, 19 Prince's Street).
This
studio was in the name of:
-
Messrs Edwards March, April
1842
-
Edwards, Counsell
& Miles May,
early June 1842
-
Counsell & Miles
late June, July? 1842
-
Counsell July?,
August 1842 to January 1843
Later in 1943, Mr Mullins advertised his
specimens of views and portraits that could be seen at The Photographic
Institution, 19 Princes Street. He was also offering lessons in
photography from the same address.

this wonderful art, for hitherto, when the sitting required any
length of time, the features were unavoidably constrained or
unnatural. Specimens exhibited a the Rooms where Portraits
will be taken daily

operation
As Messrs Edwards & Co can only remain for a short time, parties
