William Pryor Floyd (1830 - c.1900)[1] was a British photographer active between 1865 and 1874.[2]
He worked as an assistant in the Shanghai photography studio of Shannon & Co in 1865. He moved the following year to Macau to establish his own studio along the Praya Grande. One year later he went to Hong Kong. In 1868 William Prior Floyd took over a photographic company in Hong Kong known as The Firm. It was not in fact a firm but a collection of photographic negatives that had been put together since 1859 by various photographers. These included Weed, Howard, Felix Beato, Milton Miller, John Thomson and Halsey. Floyd & Co. were at 62 Queen's Road at the Victoria Photographic Company. W.P. Floyd sold his company in 1874.[1]
