A & G Taylor
 |
Taylor's must have been one of the biggest chains
of photographic studios. Some cards list two branches in London,
33 elsewhere in Britain and in 6 major cities of the USA. Their
Wolverhampton branch was at Richmond Place, Penn Road. This
later became the premises of J. F. Whitehouse (see below).

The Victoria Photo Co.
 |
This firm was at 44 Waterloo Road South. The carte
de visite on the right was kindly supplied by Carl Green. |
 |
A. J. Webber
 |
His address is 41 Darlington Street, an area in
which there were several photographers.
This is possibly a newlywed couple. The
photograph on the right taken in 1901 is of Mr. J. H. Boulton
who was the uncle of the late historian Jim Boulton. |
 |
W. White
 |
White was at 21 Broad Street and at 251 Wolverhampton Road, Heath Town.
One's guess is that either he had two studios or that he was at
Broad Street first, then Heath Town.
|
 |
 |
Judging by these two photos, White
appears to have had a well equipped studio. |

|
A remarkable photo, taken in White's studio at 21 Broad Street. |

 |
This photo (which is mounted on plain card and is not a
carte de visite or cabinet photo) seems to show the same back cloth;
but the young lady's white summer dress has come out rather
more successfully. The stamp on the back indicates that
White had had premises in Canal Street, which later became
Broad Street. |
 |
J. F. Whitehouse
 |
Whitehouse was at Richmond Place, Penn Road and
describes his firm as being "late A & G Taylor".
The card back is in a very fashionable, Japanese
influenced, aesthetic movement style.
