Southern Provinces Almanac - Directory and Year-Book for 1868
An advertisement in the Southern Provinces Almanac of 1868 shows that this studio established in 1863 was situated in Oxford Terrace west near St Michael's Church, two doors from Cashel Street. This probably indicates the year Charles Lawson first opened his studio as the partnership with Albert Lawson was established in September 1866. Cartes de visite, miniatures and other portraits would be executed "in first class style of the art."
