Welcome to Rootschat

From the book “Photographers of Lanarkshire to 1914 “. James Dewar is first recorded at 296 Shields Road starting in 1914.

National Library of Scotland http://digital.nls.uk/directories/ - they only go to 1911 or so but might be useful.

In the 1914/1915 & 1915/16 Post Office directories he is listed only at the Shields Road address (with a home address in Shawlands). This appears to change  by the 1916/1917 directory as he is listed at both addresses 296 Shields Road & 8 Mathieson Road and in the 1918 directory his business expands again as he is listed at both addresses 296 Shields Road & 8 Mathieson Road with a printworks at 305 Maxwell Road.

He seems to drop out of the directory around 1928 as there is no record of him in the 1929 directory or later editions.

If your photograph has both addresses the earliest it would appear to be would be around 1915/16 while the latest is possibly 1928/29
