From www.richmond.gov.uk
W.J. Byrne and Co. was a commercial photographic firm based in Richmond, England. In 1883 the firm was located at 1 Clarence Terrace in 1883. The company was in the same building in 1900. However, the street had been renamed and the premises was known as 19 Hill Street (Library and Information Services, London Borough of Richmond upon Thames 2004).

LOST GALLERY is researching only American photographers at this time. Photographers outside the US are a future project.

The similar reverse side printing might place it in the same time frame as the LOST GALLERY example. This one is dated 1883 in pencil and 1885 in ink.
