G. P. Abraham

George Perry Abraham was a British photographer, postcard publisher and mountaineer, born in Devizes, Wiltshire, in 1846 and died on 10 April 1923. After working as a photographer with Elliot and Fry of Baker Street in London he was apprenticed to Alfred Pettitt in Keswick in 1862 and began his own business there in 1866. He made studio portraits but his passion was photographing landscapes, and he founded the postcard publisher G. P. Abraham Ltd in Keswick in England's Lake District and became a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society in 1898. He married Mary Dixon in 1870 and had four sons, two of whom, George and Ashley Abraham, were important popularisers of mountain climbing. The Wikipedia article calls him a mountaineer in its opening line but gives no details of his own climbs.
