Print Info
These special hand-printed etchings are created from the original Victorian etching plates. They are then hand-coloured by skilled artists to create an extremely high quality collector's item. The prints carry the original engravers wording underneath. Although we can't show this on the site the prints will be framed to show this wording and the surrounding plate mark, which provides a natural border. The dimensions given are to the plate mark, not of the image alone. |
| Lemuel Francis Abbott (1760-1803)
Lemuel Francis Abbott was the son of a Leicestershire clergyman. He became a pupil of Frank Hayman when he was 14, before moving to London to embark on a career as a portrait painter.
Abbott first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1788 and continued to continued to do so until 1800. He painted Lord Nelson several times and one of these paintings hangs in the gallery of Greenwich Hospital. His portraits have been engraved by Valentine Green, Skelton and Walker.
Abbott's reputation as a painter spread but overwork led to worry, depression and an early grave. |
