Lyman Byxbe (1886-1980) was born in Illinois and although he had no formal training he possessed a natural talent for visual art and learned the etching process from architect Mark Levings. He began summer trips to Estes Park, Colorado in 1922. By 1930, he had such a successful business making etchings for residents and tourists that he moved there in 1934 and opened shop where he sold his prints. His etchings were mostly small which allowed many to have an original Lyman Byxbe print of one of the scenic vistas of the Rocky Mountain National Park area.

Byxbe began to get national recognition for his work by the mid 1930's. He was elected and joined the Chicago Society of Etchers. He was also invited to exhibit his work in a one-man show at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Some of his prints can be found in the Congressional Library. Some of his work was reproduced in newspapers and magazines. An exhibition of his work was hung at the Joslyn Memorial Art Museum in Omaha Exhibitions of Lyman Byxbe's works are exhibited at: Smithsonian Inst., 1937; NGA, 1937 (solo); SAE; Northwest Pr. M.; Int. Pr. M.; Kansas City AI; LOC; Chicago SE; Grand Central A. Gal. He was a member of the Chicago Society of Etchers. Lyman Byxbe died in Longmont, CO.
