YEOMAN AND CO. PHOTOGRAPHERS

[D&J Hutchison]

I'm looking for anyone who knows where the photographers Yeoman and Co. of
Royal Arcade had their business. The photo that I have was probably taken
around the early 1900's.
Many thanks

Can you give me more info about the photo please?
- R.Yeoman was at 169 Bourke St East Melbourne 1885-1899
- Yeoman and Co. were at 139 Clarendon St South Melbourne 1882-89 (This
was John Yeoman)
- Yeoman and Co. were also at 47 Chapel St Prahran 1884-91.
- There was also a Royal Arcade run by Grouzelle and Vanheems at 57
Burke St Melbourne 1884-87

Suggest you try the book "Dating Family Photos in Australia 1850-1920" -
by Leonora Frost I think. There is also a comprehensive list of
Australian Photographers and when and where they worked in another book,
the name of which escapes me now. Ask at your local library genealogy
section.

A book called _The Mechanical Eye_ was published by the Macleay Museum
at the University of Sydney some years ago - but I can't find it at the
NLA or remember its author's name. This is probably the one you are
thinking of since it lists the early photograpers and their studios. I
also came across a reference to another book called _The Mechanical Eye
in Australia: Photography 1841-1900_ by A Davies and P Stanbury,
Melbourne 1985.

Jeanette,

According to "The Mechanical Eye" by Davies and Stanbury, there was a
photography business: Arthur Yeoman, 1899-1900 in Namurkahl; Charles
Yeoman (various dates from 1894-1900, Hawthorn, North Melbourne, and
Geelong, Victoria); John Yeoman and Co (Various address in Melbourne
from 1882-1900) and Richard Yeoman (1882 Emerald Hill, 1895 various
addresses in Melbourne).

Hope this helps. If you want further info please let me know.
