Cartographer
Hiram Harold Green (1865 - 1930) was an American artist, painter, etcher, and illustrator active in New York and Ontario, Canada. He was most well known for his birds-eye views of Niagara Falls for Buffalo, New York newspapers and for Liberty Loan propaganda posters for the U.S. government during World War I. Born in Paris, New York, Green began his art studies in Buffalo in 1898 before continuing his education at the Art Students League in New York City. Around 1905, Green moved to Fort Erie, Ontario, where he began working for Buffalo newspapers and commercial art companies. More by this mapmaker...
