Adolph Treidler (1886-1981) was a significant American illustrator and poster designer, celebrated for his diverse and versatile artistic contributions. His most notable work includes creating influential posters for the Bermuda Trade Development Board in the 1930s, which played a crucial role in popularizing Bermuda as a tourist destination. Treidler's extensive career also featured contributions to major magazines like McClure's, Century, Scribner’s, The Saturday Evening Post, and Harper’s, where his covers and illustrations significantly shaped the visual culture of the time. Moreover, his contributions during both World Wars as a propaganda artist, particularly in promoting Liberty Loans and supporting the war efforts, marked him as a patriotic artist.
