Henry De Wolfe

Henry De Wolfe was an artist active circa 1935. Their documented output centers primarily on decorative and functional arts, specifically contributions to the "15 index of american designs." This work typically involved detailed documentation of historical and contemporary textile patterns and fashion elements.

Five specific designs representing Henry De Wolfe prints are held in museum collections, confirming the artist's focus on apparel: Collar, Cravat, Dress, Man's Hat, and Man's Suit. The rigorous detail inherent in these designs positions De Wolfe’s contribution within the broader movement dedicated to cataloging American material culture.

Henry De Wolfe’s works are represented in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art, lending institutional authority to their historical documentation efforts. Given their age and inclusion in such major repositories, many of these resources are considered public domain, allowing institutions to make high-quality prints and downloadable artwork available for researchers and enthusiasts.
