Robert Johnston of 10 Sylvan Place, Edinburgh. The address belonged to Daniel Johnston, a cabinetmaker and wood merchant at 101 S.B. of Canongate. Robert is probably his son. Mr Doull also photographed three other children of Daniel Johnston.
David Doull was a professional photographer at 72 Lauriston Place from 1865 - 1867. He was born in Edinburgh in 1831 and was one of the founder members of the Edinburgh Photographic Society in 1861. In 1970 Edinburgh Public Libraries purchased Mr Doull's collection of 319 glass negatives from Mr Frank Seymour, one in a chain of successors to Mr Doull's shop at Lauriston Place.
