    the  Suter  house.    The  microscope  shown  is  not  that
                                  which has survived as a family heirloom, which means
                                  little - Suter advertised microscopes, acting as selling
                                  agent  for  at  least  eight  makers,  including  R&J  Beck
                                  (the instrument in the photograph may be an R&J Beck
                                  travelling  microscope.)    His  younger  brother  Thomas
                                  ran  a  shop  selling  photographic  accessories,  and  may
                                  have  made  the  posed  study,  as  an  early  essay  in
                                  photography.

                                     A postcard featured a shop at The Parade, Bruce
                                   Grove, Tottenham.  The man in the doorway seems to
                                    bear a family resemblance to Richard Suter, and is
                                                   probably Thomas Suter.

                                  Much  Bruce  Grove  streetscape  remains  today,  in  a
                                  somewhat  dilapidated  state.    Premises  have  been  re-
                                  numbered  since  the  days  of  the  Suters:  there  is  more
                                  than  one  possibility,  but  the  illustration  below  (R)
                                  shows what was probably once the shop.
