Henry Ziegler

Henry Ziegler was born in Sherman, Texas and studied with William R. Leigh and Joseph Pennell at the Art Students League in New York. He was well known for his etchings and monotypes relating to western life. Ziegler was the illustrator of Cowboy Stuff, a deluxe edition containing 50 etchings of the everyday life and activities of cowboys at work and play. The text consists of poems by F.W. Lafrentz, who for many years was secretary for the Swan Land and Cattle Company of Wyoming. The book was notable for the author's and illustrator's first hand knowledge of life on the range. Lafrentz was also active in politics and helped sponsor the Wyoming statehood movement.
