As a photo-engraving finisher, he worked for the finest engraving shops in New York, and a number of major magazine publishers headquartered there.

Wilbur received numerous awards for his art, including the Audubon Artist's medal of honor for a self-portrait in oil in 1957.

About the Artist:
Gene (Alice Geneva) Kloss is considered one of America’s master printmakers. She was born in Oakland, California and established herself as an artist on the West coast.
Kloss was introduced to etching by Perham Nahl while at UC Berkley. She graduated in 1924, and in 1925 married poet Phillips Kloss. In her late twenties, Kloss moved to Taos, New Mexico and began her life’s work of the New Mexican landscape and peoples. It was at this time that she received national acclaim.
