William Albert Hickman (22 Dec 1878, New Brunswick – 10 Sep 1957) was a Canadian designer and manufacturer of innovative fast boats. He is best known as the inventor of the Hickman Sea Sled.
R.S. Pridham moved a branch of his Amherst-based photographic studio to Sackville, NB perhaps as early as 1895. He continued operating a studio under that name until at least 1911 when E. P. Smith purchased the photography business operated by R. S. Pridham in the Pridham Block on York Street in Sackville. Apparently, later the firm was organized as E. P. Smith and Sons. Perhaps when the studio was operated by Pridham, Hickman hired Pridham to take some photographs (e.g., for his handbook or other purposes). Alternatively, and perhaps more likely, perhaps Hickman took or otherwise obtained all the photographs in this collection and then hired Pridham to create and hand-colour a large series of magic lantern slides intended for use in public presentations.
