James Ross

Professional Photographer

James Ross appeared in the trade directories under his own name at the following addresses.  He was first described as a painter, later becoming a photographer:

The partnership was also listed as "Photographers", though I cannot now trace where I found this listing.

Update

 ***  Thank you to Ron Cosens for sending me a copy of a carte de visite that appears to contradict the details in the table below.

-  The carte de visit is dated (in ink) March 1865.

-  The details printed on the back read:

JAMES ROSS

PHOTOGRAPHER

TO THE

QUEEN

90 Princes Street, Edinburgh

(LATE ROSS & THOMSON)

These are the addresses for Ross & Thomson that have appeared in the trade directories and on the backs of some of my cartes de visite:

TABLE 2

Ross & Thomson

1848-64

90 Princes Street

1856-58

80 Princes Street

?

Calton Hill

These addresses have appeared on the backs of cartes de visite, but have not appeared in Trade Directories.

?

10 Greenside Street

?

_  Lothian Road

It appears that the 'Ross & Thomson' Partnership came to an end around 1864, with James Ross staying on at the '90 Princes Street' studio until at least 1865 (as well as having a studio in Lothian Road in 1865.
