Mary Olive Edis, later Edis-Galsworthy (3 September 1876 – 28 December 1955), was a British photographer and successful businesswoman who, throughout her career, owned several studios in London and Norfolk.

[1] Known primarily for her studio portrait photography, Edis's sitters ranged from royalty to politicians, to influential women, and Norfolk fisherfolk.

[2] By 1905, Edis and her sister Katharine had opened a professional studio on Church Street, in Sheringham, North Norfolk.

[citation needed] Edis married Edwin Galsworthy, a solicitor and director of Barclay's Bank, in 1928 at the age of 52, and became stepmother to his two adult children Margaret Eleanor and Gerald.

As well as famous sitters, Edis produced many portraits of local working fisherman their families at her studios in North Norfolk.

[10] The original plan was for the photography tour to take place in November 1918 but this was delayed by the end of the war and Priscilla Norman catching the flu.

[10] The tour eventually took place in March 1919 with Edis being supported by Priscilla Norman and Agnes Conway (daughter of the museum's then director general).
