HENRY WOLF Born Alsace 1852  Died New York 1916 

Henry Wolf was the premier wood engraver working in America from the late 1800’s through his death in 1916.  He primarily copied the “greats” for publication in the three most popular literary magazines of the time, “Century Magazine”, “Harper’s Monthly” and “Scribner’s Magazine”.  The American artists he presented for public consumption included John Singer Sargent, Gilbert Stuart and Frank Weston Benson, the Europeans included Jan Vermeer, Edouard Manet and  Jean Leon Gerome . In the book “The Life & Work of Henry Wolf” by Ralph Clifton Smith,  there is a quote from a letter received by Mr. Wolf from W. Lewis Fraser, for many years connected with the art department of the Century Magazine.  In 1905 the quote, refering to Gerome, “Many thanks for your letter.  Gerome’s expression as he looked at the proofs of your engravings of his paintings was “they are beautiful, Mr. Wolf knew better than my brushes what I wanted to do.” He began publishing original works of his own design, beginning in 1896 with “Evening Star”.  He worked until his unexpected death in 1916, at the age of 64.
