Information board for Lyddell Sawyer (photographer)
Edward Lyddell Sawyer was a professional photographer with a studio in Newcastle. He was born in North Shields in 1856 and died in Richmond, Surrey in 1927. Trade Directories show that he had a studio in Newcastle’s Northumberland Street by the mid 1880s, moving from No.56 to No.80 in the early 1890s. Although he had moved to London by 1885, Lyd Sawyer Ltd continued to produce superb high quality photography from the Newcastle address until at least 1904. His main interest was in portraiture of which there are several fine examples in the National Portrait Gallery.
