John Dickson

Carte de Visite

Two Studio Addresses

John Dickson appeared in the Edinburgh trade directories with a studio at :

-  3 Bristo Place from 1866 until 1890.

However, the carte de visite above, which is the only photograph that I have seen by John Dickson, also gives a second address:

-  10 Nicolson Street  (dates not known)

1860s

Several aspects of this card:

-  the style of printing on the back of the card.

-  the top hat featured in the photo

-  the foot of the stand (to steady the subject during a long exposure)

all point towards this photograph having been taken around the 1860s.
