Hi everyone
I have a number of photos of my mum Alison Leaney (now deceased) taken in the mid-late 1940s by Peter Pan Photos Ltd in Adelaide. Some of these are stamped on the back Peter Pan Photos Ltd, 110 Flinders St and some ...Adelaide Arcade. Is this the same location, or did the studio move? Knowing when they were located where might help in dating my photos. From what I can gather from Trove searches, the owner at that time was a Mr R Philpot. Is there anyone researching this family who might be able to give me some history of the firm? Particularly where the library of negatives might have ended up? I'd also be interested in who might have been employed as receptionist between Feb 1948 and June 1949, as there's an illustrated ad on Trove showing a woman, who looks like my mum, holding a camera. She would have fitted the age profile of PPP's job ads of the time, and she'd previously worked as a receptionist with YMCA. Cheers, Karen (NSW)
