Title
Flora Maxwell Portrait
Description
This postcard features a photographic portrait of a group of women by Flora Maxwell. Maxwell was a photographer with a studio at 187 Rosemount Place, opposite Watson Street. In her adverts she describes herself as "The Lady Photographer" and offers "Artistic portraiture at a moderate price". Other newspaper mentions indicate she was active in the Soroptimist International. The group appear to be a branch of the Scottish Women's Rural Institute. They are all, except the central figure, wearing the badge of this organisation. It can not be seen here but the badge features a crowned heart with a chevron reading "For home & country". Which branch of the S.W.R.I. they are is unclear. If you can provide information on the nature of this group we would be delighted to hear from you. Please contact us by using the comment button below the image.
