Abbott (1888-1973) was an English-Australian artist and art teacher who specialized in printmaking and painting. Abbott was born in England and later settled in Australia. In 1917, he opened a studio in Melbourne. He is perhaps best-known for his intaglio prints and watercolor paintings depicting scenes in Australia, England, and Egypt. Abbott's artist career came to a close in 1939 when he converted his studio into a machine shop.
