    1. [SCT-INV-L] PHOTOGRAPHS
    2. Elizabeth & David
    3. Listers, My daughter, an antique furniture restorer, recently found a bundle of old photos concealed in a drawer at the back of a cupboard. As they have obvious Scottish connections she sent them to me - I will attempt to describe some of them with the hopes that someone out there might be connected to the people in the photos. There is a small envelope containing a locket size photo of a young lady., The writing on the envelope says that it contained an obituary notice of "your grandfather James M. Andrews". But sadly this is not in the envelope. The photos of the same young lady have a US connection, they appear to have been taken at a studio "Epler & Arnold, Saratoga, New York. " There are eight photos of a child all taken in Edinburgh studios. The first taken when she was about 2 years old. Some taken "November 1918 - 10 years old". She is posing with three toy donkeys, the largest of which has a plaid draped around it fastened with what would appear to be a plaid brooch with what appears to be the letter "F" in the centre. One photo of a man taken by "Warneuke, 127 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow" Edwardian I should think by the clothes. A family group, mother , father, son and daughter, "Saratoga Photograph Co. 197 Broadway, Saratoga Springs, New York". On the back is written "To our dear cousin Richmond, with love from each of the family". One of a lady, in Edwardian dress, with her arm on a blond haired boy dressed in a kilt with fox head sporran. Again the photographer is "Epler" She appears to have a black ribbon which forms a loose bow . It is pinned to the dress by what looks like a British Army regimental badge - somewhat resembling the double headed eagle of the King's Dragoon Guards. There is another photo of the same lady taken some years later in Edinburgh. If anyone thinks they have family connections, please get in touch with me, I would be happy to post them. It would be great to think they could be returned to "their family". Elizabeth
