Just acquired a nice camera made or traded presumably by Kemp & Co from Edinburg. It seems to me that my camera very strongly resembles a type of camera made by Butcher & Sons, like this one (not my camera, just a picture from the internet):

On the net I found the below messages/advertisements regarding Kemp & Co. that stem from the Scottish post office directories, but no further info on the photographic equipment they sold/traded. Does anyone have any additional info, like catalogues and the like?
from the 1869-1870 directory:

already mentioned in the 1850-1851 directory:

It seems that currently the University of Edinburgh is settled on Kemp & Co's former premises.
