Dear Sharyn, We had a look in - The Mechanical Eye in Australia photography 1841 to 1900 - by Alan Davies & Peter Stanbury, and there are no Stamp Bros or Stawp Bros names in West Maitland. The only entries are... Stamp & Allom, Qld in 1887 A F Stamp, Cairns Qld from 1888 - 1891 Albert T Stamp, Clermont Qld from 1896 - 1897 This book only covers up to 1900 and as the above references are up to 1897, one or both of these photographers MAY have moved to West Maitland from Qld after 1900. It was quite common for photographers to move around various districts and states. If all else fails a check through the newspapers of the times may reveal and advertisement or mention in the columns of say the Maitland Mercury newspaper, but first I would check with local history societies and libraries. An e-mail to Maitland Family History Circle may well assist. Hope this is of some assistance, Sharyn. Best wishes, Rod & Wendy Gow Sharyn Wright wrote: > Dear List > > I have a photo and the studio name on the bottom is either STAMP BROS or STAWP BROS of High Street West Maitland.
