EDITORS COMMENTS
Walter Trier (1890-1951) was a renowned Canadian illustrator whose enchanting artwork graced the pages of children's books and the covers of the German-language magazine Lilliput. Born in Ontario, Trier's artistic talent was evident from an early age, leading him to study at the Ontario College of Art and the Art Students League of New York. Trier's collaboration with German author Erich Kastner began in the 1920s, resulting in a series of beloved children's books. Trier's illustrations brought Kastner's whimsical stories to life, captivating the imaginations of young readers. Some of their most famous collaborations include "Emil and the Detectives," "The Little Wrong-Way Thomas," and "The Magic Paintbrush." In addition to his work with Kastner, Trier also contributed over 200 cover designs to Lilliput magazine between 1926 and 1951. His distinctive style, characterized by its bold lines, vibrant colors, and intricate detail, became synonymous with the publication. Trier's Lilliput covers often featured fantastical scenes, playful characters, and a sense of adventure that enticed readers to delve into the magazine's contents. Trier's illustrations not only captivated the hearts of children but also appealed to adults, making his work a beloved staple of German culture. His art transcended the boundaries of age and genre, appealing to a wide audience and leaving a lasting impact on the world of children's literature and illustration.
