General notes
This photograph by Robert Pateson is of Miles Myres, who was Mayor of Preston 1871-72 and 1872-73.

"Before Pateson became a photographer he had a number of careers, including those as an upholsterer, a draper and druggist assistant.

By 1853 he had become confident as a photographer and advertised his new profession as a portrait photographer at his home, in Bow Lane.

The photographs he took during his professional life have been kept in the (Harris) museum's own collection, as well as Preston Photographic Club and private owners."
