A Leith Photograph Album 1909

These photographs are from an Edwardian leatherbound album handed in to the Living Memory Association.

Little is known about the people in the photographs, but the title page is dedicated to Cherry and Maggie Grego (Cherry Stephen Grego and Margaret Lynch) presumably on the date of their marriage in 1909.

The cartes de visite and cabinet cards mostly display the names and addresses of Edinburgh or Leith based photography studios.
