Later, they moved to this Rundle Street premises and traded as Robin & Birks. (see B 2493) This partnership was dissolved in 1876 and Charles continued alone. Staff are posing for the photographer in front of the store, which has extended into the premises next door. Perhaps the man in the top hat is the proprietor? See his portrait at B 7108.
