Sidney H. Riesenberg(1885 – 1971) was an illustrator and artist who lived inYonkers, NYand commuted to his studio in NYC by train. He is known, as a professional illustrator, for his posters for theUnited States Marine Corpsand theLiberty bondprograms, for his illustrations for book covers, magazines, and for oil paintings of diverse subjects. He retired from his professional work and dedicated his full-time energy to painting fine arts and teaching. He began, in 1937, spending summers in Rockport, MA, where he painted scenes of the small fishing town. He was active in the Rockport Art Association, teaching oil painting and participating in water color figure painting classes.

Of Riesenberg\'s work, his contributions duringWorld War Iare well known[6]and he is described as \"one of the greatest illustrators of the World War I era.\"[7][8]Riensenberg\'s style, it has been said, shows influences fromImpressionism.[4]

He produced many posters for the Marines in addition to posters advertising theLiberty Loancampaign duringWorld War I. One of Riesenberg\'s most well known works is his 1918 World War I-era poster,Over the Top for You, which illustrates a youngdoughboyclutching theAmerican Flag. With its bold illustration and concise text, like many war posters of the time,Over the Top for Youencouraged the public to support its military by purchasingliberty loans.[9]Among other posters, it was selected to display in theSmithsonian American Art Museumunder the exhibit,Over the Top: American Posters from World War I.[9]Riesenberg also created several posters for theUnited States Navy, one of which, titledDemocracy\'s Vanguard, illustrates Marines landing from a boat to initiate an offensive. Another illustrated uniformed soldiers raising the Flag against the background of a warship.[10]

Riesenberg created illustrations, including covers, for many publications such asBoys\' Life Magazine, the official monthly magazine of the Boy Scouts of America,Harper\'s[11]andThe Saturday Evening Post.[4]His many thematic subjects included scenes from places he lived, historical and action scenes, portraits, as well as depicting theOld West.[12][13]
