I haven't seen this news reported here, but read that Martin Reed, of Silverprint in London, recently died.

Thanks for posting that, Tom. Sadly, it marks the end of an era.

I recall his Silverprint shop at Valentine Place. A big room lined with shelves of papers and analog things. You picked up what was wanted and paid at the counter, very popular, often there was a queue to pay. There was a printed catalog for mail order customers. Maybe his best time.

I've tweaked the title, for those who read Photrio on a phone.
Condolences to all who knew him.
