He advertised:
|
“Carte

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.

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?

Douglas Family - Updates |
|
Thank you to Sally E Douglas, Australia,
for continuing to send me Douglas family details.
I wish all the best to Sally and others who
are researching the Douglas family, but unfortunately I don't have the
resources to do any more updating to the Douglas family pages on the
EdinPhoto web site.
