Princes Street, West End, about 1905 (reduced in size)
These 80 photographs in and around Edinburgh were published in about 1905 although several of them appear to have been taken some years prior to that date. Although originals of these photographs would be difficult to find, you can now get them on a cd-rom prepared from early 20th century items held in a private collection.
This cd-rom isn't mass produced but is compiled individually and personally for each purchaser so few copies exist. You can get one of them here.
A few sample images are set out below, followed by a list of all the views.
