Liverpool Photographers

Post by 42lingfield »

Some help please. I have been given some old photographs which I am trying to date. Some are by Parisian Studios and some by Laurence Studios of 103 Byrom St Liverpool. Can anyone tell me when these studios opened and closed which may give me some idea as to when these photos were taken. Thanks

There is a good list of photographers in the Liverpool Directories here http://www.webring.org/l/rd?ring=liverp ... raphers%2F

It's not too difficult to check each year using this list.

Mary - thanks for lists which I have been through. Parisian were set up just after 1900 and were still going strong in 1930 so no conclusions can be drawn. On the other hand Laurence were established between 1922 and 1927 so I think I can assume the Lawrence photos must have been later than 1922. So, a little progress.

Peter.
