Along side his brother George Dixon Abraham, Ashley Perry Abraham was one of the first to heavily publicise rock climbing in Britain through their photography. Ashley was the second son of publisher George Perry Abraham. His father no doubt influenced him and his brother, as he himself published many photos and postcards of landscapes around Cumbria. [1]

Ashley and George were an inseparable duo, they published and provided photography for seminal books such as 'Rock Climbing in the English Lake District' [2]. Speaking of the Keswick brothers, as they were known, Geoffrey Winthrop Young said "They complemented each other perfectly", George was the more graceful and "Ashley, a moving column of strength and aggressive energy, in support." [3].
