William Norrie

Track of the day - A Picture Of You - Joe Brown.

1901_portrait_photograph_william norrieMrs B asked me to scan a photograph of her great, great grandmother. It was taken in 1901 when the lady was 24 years old.
After I scanned it I couldn't believe what came up on the monitor.
I know there are dust specks and scratches on the print but considering that it is over 100 years old, the quality is amazing.
Google informs me that the photographer was William Norrie who had a studio at 28 Cross Street, Fraserburgh, that he also had studios in Brussels, Utrecht, Geneva and Maastricht, and was winner of 24 prize medals and diplomas.
William Norrie knew what he was doing.
