CREATORS

* C. Yarnall Abbott (American, 1870–1938)  - artist
C. Yarnall Abbott American, 1870-1938

Although little known today, in his time Yarnall Abbott was one of the most important and widely exhibited American photographers. Besides working as a lawyer in Philadelphia, Abbott was a painter, author, and photographer, best known for his nude studies made using gum bichromate and glycerine-developed platinum prints. His work was recognized by such key figures as Alfred Stieglitz and Peter Henry Emerson.
	At the height of his career during the first decade of this century, Abbott showed his images nationally and internationally in both solo and group exhibitions, including a one-person invitational at the Royal Photographic Society in London. He served as president of the Photographic Society of Philadelphia and was a member of the Linked Ring, an amateur photographic club formed in London in 1892 to promote expressive and aesthetic concerns in the camera arts.
