'''Vernon & Co''' Photographic Studios operated from various addresses in Esplanade Row [[Bombay]] from early 1900s <ref> [https://indianculture.gov.in/other-collections/thackers-indian-directory-1904-embracing-whole-british-india-and-native-states Thackers Annual Directory 1904 P1324] </ref> until at least the 1920s. By 1920 the studios had also embraced the world of film - a similar progression to the celebrated [[Clifton & Co, Photographers (Bombay)| Clifton & Co studios]] - which also operated at that time in the Bombay area. <ref> [https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.97229/page/n2151/mode/2up?view=theater Thackers Annual Directory 1920] </ref>
