Antique 19th Century Photography Art, Edinburg Scottland 1870s, Hand Colored Carte De Visite With Man In Traditional Scot Tartan Clothing, W K Munro Studio, Collectibles And Memorabilia. Great Britain, Victorian Era Europe. Grand Tour Of Europe Souvenirs. William K Munro had a photographic business in Edinburgh from 1868 to 1907. Many of his cartes de visite had an attractive sketch on the back - three cherubs, the top one holding a large old camera. On the back of his cartes de visite produced from his studio at 16 North Pitt Street from 1875 to 1884, he advertised: “Copies may be had at any time. The negative from which this is taken is specially adapted for producing an enlarged picture of any size.” In the 1890s, he advertised: “Black and white (permanent carbon) prints and solid oil colours at prices which place them within the reach of the masses.” The Edinburgh Trade Directories recorded WK Munro as being based at only 16 Pitt Street from 1887 onwards, but his cartes de visite appear to have continued to use the address, 58 Pitt Street, for many years (possibly until 1907) rather than 16 Pitt Street. The following may be helpful in estimating the approximate dates of WK Munro's cartes de visite. These were numbered consecutively. I have seen cartes numbered up to about 78,500. Numbers 45,000-57,000 (and possibly some either side) appear to have been allocated when he was based at 16 North Pitt Street, between 1875 and 1884.
