Henry Wolf (1852 - 1916) was a French-born wood engraver who lived and worked in the United States during his most influential work period and until his death. Many of his engravings were published in Scribner's Magazine, Harper's Monthly, and Century Magazine. He exhibited 144 wood engravings at the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. He was awarded the Exposition's Grand Prize in printmaking that year. His works are held in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Canton Museum of Art.
