According to Wikipedia, John Hammond was a "Canadian adventurer, photographer, artist, printmaker and art educator".
John A. Hammond was born April 11, 1843 in Montreal, [[Quebec]] and died in 1939. In 1866, he traveled to join the Central Otago Gold Rush in New Zealand, and spent three years unsuccessfully looking for gold. After returning to Montreal, he became a staff photographer for the renowned William Notman, then joined the Geological Survey of Canada that laid the west route for the Canadian Pacific Railway.
John's interest and skill in artistry was increased via his travels, and he became a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, and he painted in South Holland alongside James McNeill Whistler (artist of "Whistler's Mother) and in Paris, France with Jean=Francois Millet, an important influence of Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, and Mark Twain. Hammond's works have been shown at the Paris Salon, the Royal Academy in London, the National Academy of Desigin in New York City. Currently, examples of his work may be found at the National Gallery of Canada, MNBAQ in Montreal, and some of his photography at the McCord Museum.
