Richard Maynard (photographer)
Richard Maynard (1832–1907) was a Canadian photographer known mainly for his landscape views taken throughout British Columbia, along coastal Alaska and on the Pribiloff Islands of the Bering Sea.
==Early life==
He was born in Stratton, Cornwall, on February 22, 1832. When he was two years old, his family moved to the nearby town of Bude. As a boy he first went to sea, working the coastal trade between England and Wales. Richard was also apprenticed early on to learn the shoemaker's trade, and so he made boots in the winter and worked as a sailor in the summer. In 1852 he met and married Hannah Hatherly. The couple soon emigrated to Canada, settling in Bowmanville, now part of Ontario. In
June 1859 he left to join the Fraser River gold rush in British Columbia where he apparently had some success mining. In the interim, his wife studied the principles of photography, probably acquiring the knowledge from a local firm of photographers. Richard returned to Bowmanville, and in 1862 the family with their four children moved permanently west to the city of Victoria on the Colony of Vancouver Island. Shortly after arriving he left for the Stickeen Territories to once again try his hand at placer mining, and by 1864 he was back in Victoria. During his absence, Hannah had started her own photography business, and upon his return Richard set up a bootmaking shop.
