ADOLPH TREIDLER (1886-1981)

New York / The Wonder City of the World. 1927.
Lithograph poster. 104¼x68½ cm, 41x27 inches; Latham Litho. & Ptg. Co., Long Island City.

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).
