Darwin Edwin Abbott was a famous photographer who operated out of Huntington, West Virginia. He attended Marshall Academy and toured West Virginia taking pictures for Harper's Magazine. In 1880 he opened a photographic studio and by 1891 his business expanded by selling photographic supplies. In 1898 he purchased the Addison, Thompson and Associates Plant which manufactured glass, which allowed him to add the manufacturing of high quality picture frames to his business. His salesman traveled throughout 20 states and his frames were sold throughout the U.S.A. and Europe. His firm was one of the most important businesses in Huntington at the time.
