William A. Reynolds is recorded as working from London Road, Lowestoft, (Kelly's Suffolk Directory, 1865/1869, Harrod's Norfolk Directory 1863, Morris' Suffolk Directory 1868) and from Arnold Street, London Road, Lowestoft (Harrod's Norfolk Directory 1868).
A ‘Reynolds of Lowestoft’ carte survives with '1862' handwritten on the back. At that time his cartes were priced at 6/- per dozen. He is described as ‘artist & photographer’ in Huke's Suffolk Directory,1863 and Huke's Norfolk Directory, 1864. His advertisement in Huke's Suffolk Directory, 1863 reads: ‘Before you have your Portrait taken, pay a visit to Reynolds' Photographic Saloon ... and inspect the Specimens which will be found the Best and Cheapest Photographs Either on Glass or Paper, that have yet been placed before the public, including the much admired Carte de Visites. Mr Reynolds still continues to produce those works of art in Coloured Photographs, which for artistic merit, brilliancy, and durability, stand unrivalled.’ Reference
