Arthur H. Hider

Arthur H. Hider (1870–1952), was a Canadian painter and commercial illustrator.

Gerlach Barlow Co. commissioned several of his paintings for their calendars.

[2] His art depicting Robin Hood for the cover of the Robin Hood Flour Cook Book was painted before the 1912 name change; but it continued to be used in promotions for many years.

[4] His colour print Canadians at the Battle of Paardeberg, February 1900, (1901) is a major symbol of Canadian participation in South Africa, despite the artist never actually having seen the frontlines.

[4] Haider's print differs strongly from eyewitness accounts of the war, which feature a more barren and dry landscape.
