Few posters of the 1920s state their purpose as plainly as this one, whose title argues that religious books build character. Printed as a color lithograph around 1925, it reflects the period's belief that reading shaped moral life, a conviction widely shared in American households and churches. The work is by Adolph Treidler, a prolific commercial illustrator and poster designer who worked in New York during the decades when lithographic posters were a major tool for advertising and public messages. Its large size and bold color were meant to catch attention on a street or in a shop window.
