Taylor, H. A. (Harold A.), 1878-1960
b. 24 Jul 1878, Croyden, England – d. 1960. Taylor was a native of England, born in Croyden on July 24, 1878. He left England in 1896 and settled in Bakersfield. He lived in the San Diego area from 1901. Principally a landscape photographer, Taylor had a studio in Yosemite Valley. A very enterprising man, he sent his agents all over to sell his photos. Widely traveled, he knew the West. In 1906 he was listed as Hallett-Taylor. He died in 1960 at the age of 81.
Re Taylor’s studio in Yosemite: “In the winter of 1902, Harold A. Taylor, who had arrived in the valley the preceding April as assistant to Julius Boysen, and Eugene Hallett, agent for the Santa Fe stage line, formed the Hallett-Taylor Company and took over the business and building of Oliver Lippincott. They named their place the ‘’Studio of the Three Arrows,” because Taylor’s family crest centered around three arrows, and, in addition, the name seemed an appropriate motif for the valley because of its Indian history. The photographic business stood across the street from the Degnan home and bakery. ” Yosemite: the Park and its Resources (1987), by Linda W. Greene. See SDHC resource(s): 12297;
