Arthur James Burford

born circa 1866 England, died 15 July 1949 aged 83 years (BDM), buried 18 July 1949, Ruru Lawn Cemetery, Christchurch block 21 plot 172.

Mr A. Burford notifies that he is now prepared to undertake all kinds of photographic work. His new studio is near the Park, at the corner of King and Princes street and is admirably fitted up and furnished. Adjoining the studio are well appointed waiting rooms. So far Mr Burford has executed highly satisfactory work, and it was the success which this had met with that induced him to extend his operations and have a studio built and made up-to-date in every respect. All his work will be done at very reasonable charges, and he makes the copying of old photographs a special branch of study. Mr Burford is well-known and his latest enterprise should meet with every success.
