From the
Photographic
Studio of
Woodcock & Robinson.

According to the Special Photographic Collections Library at Penn State the Woodcock & Robinson studio was based in Douglas, Isle of Man, Great Britain. The Manx Notebook Photographers web page states that there was a major tourist boom in Douglas starting in the late 1870's when tourists (mostly mill workers) from the North of England would visit during the 10 week summer season. The Carte de Visite type photograph was a populara souvenir until ca 1890. Photographer Francis Woodcock (1845-1915) had a studio in Douglas from the late 1860's until well into the 1890's although no reference to a Woodcock & Robinson Firm is made on the Manx website.
