Charles
R Brown

Charles
R Brown was based at Brown's New Photographic Rooms,
2 Tollcross, Edinburgh from
1875. The addresses of his studios, as given in the trade
directories, were:
|
1875-79
|
2 Toll Cross
(Home Street)
|
|
1879-80
|
29 Earl Grey Street
|
However, cartes de visite from this address bear the name Richard Brown
or R Brown, rather than Charles R Brown.
Perhaps Richard Stuart Brown owned
this studio and/or worked there with Charles R Brown, or perhaps Charles R
Brown preferred to be known by his middle name, which might have been
Richard.

Who was T H Douglas?
©
The name of T H Douglas
was also
printed
on the back of cartes de visite from
Brown's New Photographic
Rooms, 2 Tollcross.
In all the cartes de visite that I have seen (as above), the name T H
Douglas has been
scored out, with no other name added in its place.
TH
Douglas ran a photographic business under his own name from 1868 to
1870. |
