W.H.D. Koerner, celebrated as a prolific illustrator of the American West, immigrated from Germany to Iowa in 1880. After honing his skills as a newspaper illustrator in Chicago, he studied at the Chicago Art Institute and the Art Students League in New York. A major step in Koerner's career occurred when he was accepted for formal instruction by Howard Pyle, the famed illustrator who had also taught N.C. Wyeth.
In 1919, Koerner settled in Interlaken, New Jersey, and embarked on extensive travels across the Western United States, capturing the essence of cowboy life and Native American culture. His illustrations graced works by authors such as Zane Grey and Hal G. Evarts, solidifying his fame during the peak of his career in the 1920s.Condition
