Administrative history
Photographic company founded in London in 1854 by George Swann Nottage (1822-1885) and Howard John Kennard (1839-1896). It went through numerous name changes but is usually referred to, and continues to be referred to, as the London Stereoscopic Company (LSC). From about 1889 to 1912, the company was located at 106 and 108 Regent St, London. The company published photographs, with William England and Thomas Richard Williams as the main photographers, and was also involved in the manufacture of photographic equipment. The company dissolved in 1922.
Not to be confused with the London Stereoscopic Company established by rock guitarist Brian May in 2005.
