Title: Unknown Gent and help please Emberson Photographer
Post by: JGDavies on Tuesday 01 February 22 21:25 GMT (UK)

Hi,
Found these two photos in a box from N.Wales but seem to be taken around or in London. Any help regarding date or anything else appreciated. Nothing on the back of the 2nd photo, just a partial studio logo on the surround.
Thanks,
Jon

The info regarding George Emberson & his addresses indicates
this was taken early 1890's around 1893/4.
In the 2nd. he looks a bit older & the backdrop indicates Edwardian.

Thanks Carol and Jim, I don't know who this is, and given the 1890s date suggested don't have anybody to link it to in London or that area prior to WW1.
Thanks again.
