J. & W. Hicks, 510 Govan Road, 1884 - 1886

A rather poor quality image on the cdv card above, the text on which suggests a hasty solution, so perhaps comes from the first year of operation.

This elegant cdv on a toned Marion card shows the exhuberant whorls and spirals typical of the mid to late1880s. The designer has even managed to work in at the bottom some then fashionable Japanese elements. Unusually, the print as well as the card has rounded corners.
