Caswall Smith operated the Gainsborough Studio at 309 Oxford Street [3] from 1907 until 1920 when she moved to 90 Great Russell Street where she stayed until her retirement in 1930 aged 60. She exhibited at the Royal Photographic Society in 1902 and 1913 and her bromide copies of photographs of Peter Llewelyn Davies and J. M. Barrie are in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery.[3]
