Andrew Swan Watson   -  Death, Obituary and Tribute (551 words)
In late 1928, Andrew Swan Watson announced to the Edinburgh Society of Professional Photographers that due to his state of health, he did not expect to be able to attend many of the ESPP Council Meetings.
Mr Swan Watson was emphatically a photographer of the old school in matters of artistic aim, for he resolutely set his face against the many forms of theatricality in portraiture.
Tribute was also paid to Andrew Swan Watson in the Presidential Address of the Annual Congress of the Professional Photographers' Association in London on 15 May 1930.
