Privetts Studios, Invergordon

[Foffie]

I have a postcard that has Privetts Studios printed on the back and dating of the postcard seems to suggest 1918 at the earliest.  In order for me to more accurately date the postcard, can anyone tell me when Privetts Studios started up in business in Invergordon?  I have read that Ernest James Privett was a photographer in the town from the early 1920s to late 1940s, and I believe there are postcards in existence with E J Privett, Invergordon printed on the back.  Does anyone know if the terms "Privetts Studios" and "E J Privett, Invergordon" were used simultaneously or did one name pre-date the other?  It would be particularly helpful to ascertain when the business known as Privetts Studios came into being.

Thank you!

Hi Foffie

If you scan front and back of postcard ( at 300dpi ) and post here on the photo board the experts on this board will probably give you an answer  they are that good.
