ADOLPH TREIDLER (1886-1981) NEW YORK / NEW YORK CENTRAL LINES. 1927. 39x26 inches, 99x66 cm. Latham Litho. & Printing Co., Long Island City, New York. Condition B / B-: repaired tears, tape-staining, creases, wrinkles and restoration in margins and image; restored losses at edges; trimmed margins and text. An evocative and dramatic nighttime view of the tip of Manhattan seen past the Statue of Liberty. The "city that never sleeps" is depicted full of life and light, as seen in skyscrapers, ferries, tugboats and a spotlight. Treidler's extensive career as a poster designer began during the First World War, and carried on through the 1960s, when he was the in-house designer for Furness Cruise Lines. Treidler "arguably the nation's most outstanding poster artist" considered this image to be one of his two best-known works (Zega p. 68). Zega 88.
