He advertised:

“Carte de visite, cabinet, full plate 

and equestrian portraits”.  

His name appears on the back of cartes de visite from Brown's New Photographic Rooms which opened at Tollcross in 1875.

However, on many of these cartes the name has been scored out in pencil and no other name added in its place.

Thomas or William Douglas

Photographs in Collections

I have seen cartes de visite showing scenes of Edinburgh by Douglas, Edinburgh:

-  "High School, Edinburgh"

-  "Heriot's Hospital, Edinburgh".

Which Douglas was it who took these photographs?

 

William Douglas

William Douglas was based  at Douglas's Photographic Studio, Edinburgh.
I have not yet discovered if and how he was related to Thomas H Douglas.  

This is one of many questions I have concerning the Douglas photographers in Edinburgh.

Thank you to Sally Douglas for giving me the following addresses of William Douglas, Edinburgh engraver.  Was he related to William Doulglas photographer, above?
