Edinburgh Professional Photographer E Catling |
|
Question |
|
What is known about E Catling? I have not found his name listed in any of the Edinburgh Trade Directories. However, Winnie Lisowski has sent me this portrait of one of her family, taken by E Catling, which she believes would have been taken in the early-1930s.

They attended Abbeyhill School from 1919 to 1926, then Broughton." Winnie Lisowski, Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland: February 10, 2012 (2 emails). |

Comment 2. Harry Gilbert Edinburgh |

It appears that E Catling may have been a professional photographer in Edinburgh for a fairly lengthy period, despite never appearing in the Edinburgh trade directories. Thank you to Harry Gilbert for reminding me that on this Hutchison & Chesser page, about five years ago, I had mentioned a photo of the Boys' Brigade 67th Company taken in 1944 by E W Catling.
