John Henry Hintermeister (October 10, 1869 – February 10, 1945) was a Swiss-born American artist. He was a "well-known illustrator and a painter of American historical scenes," who created paintings for calendars and advertising illustration for the American Art Works company, Brown & Bigelow, Church and Dwight, Louis F. Dow, Kemper-Thomas, the Osborne Co., and Thomas D. Murphy.[3][4] He was the father of another illustrator, Henry Hintermeister.[5] Both men used the signature Hy Hintermeister, causing confusion among collectors.[5] The two worked together, producing more than 1050 illustrations.[4]
