Hannah Hatherly Maynard (Mrs. Richard Maynard) was born in Bude, Cornwall, England in 1834. In 1852 she married Richard Maynard, and subsequently emigrated to the Colony of Vancouver Island along with her family in 1862. It is believed that Maynard's Photographic Gallery was opened that same year.

Focusing on commericial portrait photography, she suggested upon her retirement in 1912 that she had photographed almost everyone who had passed through Victoria. While both Hannah and Richard practiced landscape photography, Hannah also experimented with techniques such as photosculpture, multiple exposures and composite images.

Died 1918 in Victoria, British Columbia Canada.
