Abbey - Artist Illustrator

There has been some confusion in regards to Abbey, there were actually two brothers
S. Abbey and J. Abbey, their full and real names are Salomon Van Abbe (1883-1955) and Joseph Van Abbe
Their work was often not prefixed by their initial to further confuse things
Salomon also worked under the name C. Morse
