Bertha Evelyn Jaques (1863-1941) traveled extensively in Europe and Asia. Her prints reflect these influences, especially from her time in Japan. Jaques helped found the Chicago Society of Etchers in 1910. At least twenty other etching societies, modeled on the CSE, were founded in the following two decades, which greatly impacted the development of printmaking in the United States.
