After completing his photography apprenticeship in Germany at the age of 15, Henry Buehman journeyed to the American West, where he worked and traveled before settling in Tucson, Arizona Territory. There he purchased a portrait studio and established a photography business, quickly becoming the premier photographer in Tucson and in the Territory. Buehman periodically traveled through the surrounding areas, which allowed him to compile a large portfolio that included Native American and scenic images as well as his portraiture. In addition to his success as a photographer, Buehman eventually served as mayor of Tucson from 1895-1899.
