Otto Henry Bacher was a book illustrator and etcher. He joined a colony of American painters established by Frank Duveneck in Polling, Bavaria. In 1880 the 'Duveneck boys', a group that also included John White Alexander, Robert Frederick Blum, Charles Abel Corwin, George Edward Hopkins, Harper Pennington, Julius Rolshoven and Theodore M. Wendel, traveled to Venice where they formed friendships with James Abbott McNeill Whistler and Henry James.
