Roth was born in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1879.  He came to the United States at an early age and studied at the National Academy of Design with James D. Smillie.  He went back to Europe in 1905 and remained there etching the hill towns, cathedrals, and cities of Europe, receiving distinguishing recognition when the Uffizi Gallery purchased his series of Florentine etchings.  Returning to the United States in 1920, he produced many architectural prints of buildings and landscapes throughout the country for the next three decades.
