Postcard Portrait |
|
John
K Home Crawford
was based at Portobello,
1898
to 1921. He had studios at:
1898-00
|
137 High Street, Portobello |
|
1900-21
|
223 High Street, Portobello |
|
1905-15
|
130 Princes Street |
Thank you to Archie Foley, Portobello for pointing out that the
houses in Portobello High Street were re-numbered in 1900, so No 137 in
the table above is almost certainly the same building as No 223.
The
trade directories show this as being the address of
Elsmere
Studio
1912
and 1925.
The post cards portrait above is from Elsmere Studio

J K Home Crawford appears to have published most of his postcards
under his own name, some printed in Saxony. However, the view of
Portobello from Joppa was published as Wrench Series, No. 8324.
