Fascinating mystery album with Scottish, English, Asian and Australian connections

Unknown portrait by William Green, Berwick-on-Tweed, from mystery album

Amongst all 140 images, this album contains a number of named and dated photographs which pose an interesting challenge - using the power of Flickr, with all the knowledge and sleuthing skills of its users, just how many of these images can we identify, and what can we find out about the people they portray? I have tried to place all photographs and studios on the map, which makes for fascinating viewing given that we have pictures here from Scotland, England, Ireland, France, Spain, India, Sri Lanka, Burma, and Australia! Here are some other 'quick links': Detailed view of all photographs Photographs with notes Photographs with dates Edinburgh studios Glasgow studios Photographs of the Dickson family Finally, please do tell all your friends and contacts about this set to help with the quest.
