The Royal Studio

Postcard Portrait - 1

The Royal Studio was based at 128 Leith Street, and produced portraits on post cards. Here is one of their post cards.

I have found no reference to this studio in any of the trade directories, so I cannot say when it operated, but the post card above may give a clue.

Thank you to the owner of the photo below, 'timandpep', for sending a copy to me. Perhaps somebody will be able to estimate the date of this photo or the one above, based on the fashions. Please click on the image below to enlarge the photo, to study it more closely:

1945 Photo from Royal Studios

I have found another photo from Royal Studio, Edinburgh. This one is a family group, postcard-size, in a cardboard wallet, but has no printing on the back - just a rubber stamp that reads:

ROYAL STUDIOS

6 JUL 1945

78 LEITH STREET

EDINBURGH

I don't believe the plural 'STUDIOS' is very significant. Printed on the cardboard surround of the photo mount is the name, Royal Studio, Edinburgh.

Is this likely to be the same company as produced the portrait above from 128 Leith Street?

Postcard Portrait 3

Here is another postcard from Royal Studio, 78 Leith Street, dated 1945.

This image comes from Jacek Pozdrowiam, Poland, complete with its original cardboard wallet.
