T Harrison's

North British Photographic Establishment

T Harrison's Photographic Establishment was described as being on the corner of Princes Street and Hanover Street, so its number would have been 1 Hanover Street

The wording on the back of the carte de visite below describes J B Cartlidge as being:

- Principal Artist in T Harrison's North British Photographic Establishment and

- Late Partner and Principal Artist of the Edinburgh Photo Company

Here is one of J B Cartlidge's carte de visite giving the address as Edinburgh Photographic Gallery, 1 Hanover Street, but without any mention of T Harrison.

 Perhaps this is from the time when he was working for the Edinburgh Photo Company:
