Princes Street Address listed on cartes de visite |

I presume that John Ross was proud of the time when his studio was based at 137 Princes Street, and so kept this prestigious address on his cartes de visite long after he had left the street. Every one of the John Ross cartes de visite that I have seen mentions the Princes Street address. These are the ones that I have seen:

Surplus Stock of Cards? The reason for continuing to refer to the Princes Street address on his cartes de visite can hardly be attributed to a surplus of unused cards when he moved from his Princes Street studio. Even the 25 George Street cdv, above, a new design incorporating a medal awarded to him 23 years after leaving Princes Street, referred to the Princes Street address! Between operating from 137 Princes Street (1856-63) and 25 George Street (1883-96), John Ross had been based at 4 other studios near the centre of Edinburgh. He seems to have decided not to mention any of these on the backs of his cartes de visite. These were: - 1864: 6 Lothian Road - 1864-65: 5 Hope Street - 1866-69: 36 Hanover Street - 1870-82: 3 Great King Street |
