We believe this photograph to be the work of photographer Thomas Keith although there may be some doubt as to whether this is his work.
Thomas Keith was a surgeon who trained at Edinburgh University where he was a medical apprentice to Sir James Young Simpson. In 1853 he joined his older brother, George Skene Keith, in general practice in Edinburgh, opening a private infirmary in the 1870's. His interest in photography dates from 1852, but he produced his earliest dated picture in 1854. By 1857 pressure of work from his medical practice brought his photographic career to an end.
