Post by: ann255 on Wednesday 27 July 11 18:56 BST (UK)

Is there a source to locate photographers.  I am looking for Thomas Humphries of Southsea c. 1920 please.

Hi

There's a book called Directory of Hampshire Photographers, by Martin Norgate, published in 1995. Probably not still in print, but might be available through interlibrary loan. I'm not sure how much more information you might get from it, but might be worth a look.
