Painter of landscapes, flowers, natural history studies and portrait miniatures. Allport's etchings, engravings and lithographs were the first to have been made by a woman in Australia and she is also believed to have been the first woman to advertise skills and willingness to paint miniature on commission.
There was a very lazy error in linking her as the childe of William Neate Chapman. She was the daughter of William Chapman but he was a publican in Birmingham when William Neate Chapman was in Australia -
