Winslow Homer is best known for masterful paintings such as "Prisoners from the Front" (1866), "The Veteran in a New Field" (1865), "Snap the Whip" (1872), and "The Gulf Stream" (1899). However, earlier in his career, Homer was a printmaker in Boston and New York. At the age of nineteen, Homer apprenticed to J.H. Bufford of Boston. His long career as an illustrator for "Harper's Weekly" spanned from the late 1850's to the mid 1870's.
