Notes

There is no connection between this business and the cinematograph pioneer Birt Acres.

In their OMLJ adverts they claim connections as 'principal artists' to 'the late Polytechnic Institution, Adelaide Gallery, Panopticon and other Scientific Institutions'. Their 1895 OMLJ advert claims they have been 'established over 100 years', which would imply at least two previous generations.
