Postcards I have seen more postcards of Edinburgh published by W R & S than by any other publisher, with the exception of Valentine of Dundee. |

Larger Photos
There are some W R & S photographs of
Edinburgh, probably from the early 20th century.
These photos are approx 8 x 10 in. Did W R & S, like James Valentine and George Washington Wilson, perhaps sell such photos individually and mounted into albums, perhaps in the late 19th century and early 20th century? |

Books of Views I have three books, all with tartan (but different) covers. The books are published by W R & S and include a collection of their photos. The books are all entitled: Edinburgh and Vicinity - An Album containing over 250 Views with plan and guide to the principal places of interest |
|
Books published c.1900 These books each have about 60 pages, approx 11 ins wide x 8.5 ins high. The contents of two of the books are identical, the third is different. All appear to have been published around 1900 Inside the cover is an advert for W R & S products:
- Post Cards
- View Albums
- Souvenirs
and Charms
- Novelty

Books published c.1920 I also have a fourth book, similar to the above, similar to those above but slimmer and with some different photos. This is undated, but was probably published around 1920. |
