In 1915, the year before his death, the American wood engraver Henry Wolf won the Grand Prize for his printmaking at the Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. The Wolf prints we have were available for sale at the PPIE and many were the actual prints exhibited and have the label from the PPIE and many, such as this, were the actual prints exhibited and have the label from the PPIE, with his return address and the edition size and original price of $18.00 noted. This woodengraving was done after American painter Gilbert Stuart's portrait of 1805. Ann "Nancy" Pennington was from Bordentown, N.J, the daughter of Isaac and Sarah Pennington. Stuart painted her portrait a year before her death at age 21 from "consumption"
