Stone engraver, gem cutterץ Salomon Philipp Abraham served his apprenticeship as an engraver under his father Philipp Abraham. He was recognized for his artistry and two pieces of his works, a magnificent chalcedony cameo, showing the head of Emperor Leopold II and a cornelian cameo depicting Empress Maria Theresia in widow’s weeds, are preserved at the Kunsthistorische Museum in Vienna. Both cameos bear on the back a dedication from a Jewish community. Abraham died in 1793.
