  • W. J. seems to have been an habitual letter writer, and an entrant and winner in many shows.

    I have likely had near 100 hits on a "W.J Byrnes" Including an article on his work in Wilson's Photographic Magaine, of April 1898, which I have extracted here:

    Also

    From a Belian Journal Here:

    And well represented with images in the article on photographing children:

    in Another Wilson's of Dec 1893

    From Photo Beacon Apr 1893:

    BYRNE & COMPANY, of Richmond,
    London, are sending about one hundred
    pictures, among them being portraits of
    the Prince of Wales and family, and
    other royal and distinguished person¬
    ages. Many of the pictures are direct
    life-size portraits.
