Henry Wolf was the premier wood engraver working in America from the late 1800's through his death in 1916. He studied with J. Levy in Strasbourg, and came to New York in 1871 after exhibiting throughout Europe. He primarily copied work of "The Greats" for publication in the time's popular magazines. In 1915, he exhibited 144 woodengravings and won the only Grand Prize for printmaking at the Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. He was considered one of the last great "New School" of American reproductive wood engravers up until his unexpected death in 1916.
