He studied at the Buffalo Art Student’s League then moved on to study in New York under Henry Reuterdahl and also apprenticed under William Auerbach-Levy. Wall began a career as a lithographic illustrator in 1889 working primarily as a commercial artist in New York and Buffalo. He soon became known as the "Postcard King" and designed over 5000 comic cards. The year 1915 marked a defining point in Wall’s artistic career. Wall visited Colorado Nevada and California making etchings of Indians cowboys and major cities which were later published in a portfolio entitled "Under Western Skies." These proved to be very successful and the artist shortly thereafter moved to California permanently. Wall continued to produce many fine etchings of the American West and by 1930 had also become a much respected historian of the region.Bernhardt Wall was unique in that he not only drew the etchings for his books but he also printed and bound them.

You have to comfort me because I have a real sorrow. Master master when do you want me. Tell me a very very kind word." 2 sides 8vo. on monogrammed mourning paper no place no date circa In 1882 in Paris Bernhardt met a Greek diplomat Aristide Damala known in France by his stage name Jacques Damala 1855-1889 who was 11 years her junior and notorious for his romantic affairs. She fell in love with him and insisted that her tour be modified to include a stop in St. Petersburg. Bernhardt invited Damala to give up his diplomatic post to become an actor in her company as well as her lover and before long they decided to marry. Without noticeable talent. Damala began taking large quantities of morphine and following Bernhardt's great success in Fedora Damala took every opportunity to criticize and humiliate her. She later discovered that he was using the money she gave him to buy presents for other women. In early December 1882 when she confronted him he declared that he was going to North Africa to join the Foreign Legion and disappeared. In early 1889 Damala reappeared at Bernhardt's door haggard ill and penniless. Bernhardt instantly forgave him and he continued to act sometimes with success particularly in a play by Georges Ohnet Le Maître des Forges in 1883. However his morphine addiction had worsened. In August 1889 Bernhardt learned that he taken an overdose of morphine in Marseille. She hurried to his bedside and nursed him until he died on 18 August 1889 at the age of 34.
