Description
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. Engraved after the portrait by California painter Orrin Peck of hhis wife, Janet. Peck was the artistic director for the Hearst family at San Simeon. An impression of this image was exhibited in the 1915 PPIE.
