    3. Is it possible your photo actually says H Bown, not A Brown? I have an old photo taken around that time and have done some snooping on the photographer. His name was Henry Bown and he had studios at several addresses. One was 298 Clapham Road. Actually I see now there was a junior and senior Henry Bown. Just a thought. Kristen

Hi Ray I haven't found anything about the photographer A Brown at this address but I came across this on one website: "Around 1904, William Whiteman established his own photographic studio in Clapham. Located at 81 Clapham Park Road, Clapham, S.W. London, William Whiteman's studio was known as The Park Studio and was in business for just a few years between 1904 and 1906" Whether there is any connection between the 2 photographers I'm afraid I cannot say - unless William Whiteman sold out to A Brown as the article also says his (William's) business collapsed in about 1907. Hope that's of some help Liz
