Abstract

A biography of Joseph Edward Wilfer, printer and papermaking pioneer of Racine, Wisconsin is presented. Wilfer was married to Julia Falconer at the age of 22 and had two daughters. While working at the Madison Art Center, he continued studying. In 1974, he founded the Upper U.S. Paper Mill and hosted its first international hand papermakers' conference. The author suggests that Wilfer was one of the most uncommon persons who could look at a painting and transform it into a print.
