Historique
In 1892 Albert Smith opened a photographic studio in Saint Helier. Jersey was an attractive and potentially lucrative market for commercial photographers in the late 19th century. Having started his career and practice in Merseyside, Albert purchased the studio of John Stroud who had himself purchased the studio of the well known and highly regarded studio E. Baudoux & Son Ltd only five years earlier.
From his premises at 59 New Street, Albert Smith founded a studio that would grow to dominate Jersey's commercial market for several decades. His operations expanded with outlets in Bath Street, Beresford Street, and Broad Street.
Albert Smith died in 1914, his son David Smith continued to operate the business under the name Albert Smith Ltd.
It is unclear if the business was operating and if so in what format between 1931 and 1940.
