About the Artist
Henry Richard Boehm was born in Illinois around 1870.
By 1905 he had moved to New York. He lived in Briarcliff Manor, New York in
Westchester County near Ossining. He is listed in the 1910 NY Census with
his wife and adopted daughter. He was an artist of some note whose work
appeared on the covers and inside several magazine like COSMOPOLITAN,
LESLIE'S WEEKLY, PEARSON'S, and LADIES' WORLD. He received strong praise
from the editors of COSMOPOLITAN who claimed to have "discovered" Boehm.
Despite this apparent success, he committed suicide on February 1, 1914
Re: Very Old Plate
Just so you know that it isn't handpainted. They were made in some sort of quantity. I have this exact plate. Nice, true, but not handpainted. I have three other ladies from the same series by this artist.
