Frank Cooper had a photography business from 1868-1909. He was originally located on the east side of Richmond Street just north of King Street. By 1884 his studio was above 169/171/173 Dundas Street and by 1908 he was at 330 Dundas Street.
This photograph was taken at his studio on Richmond Street. It is undated but would have been taken prior to 1884 when the studio moved to Dundas Street.
The ornate photographer's imprint appears on the card beneath the photograph. There is a different imprint on the back of the card as well as a handwritten inscription. - Inscriptions
