William Henry Bradley (July 10, 1868 – January 25, 1962) was an American Art Nouveau illustrator, artist and film director.

He left at 17 for Chicago, Illinois,[3] where he held a few brief jobs as a wood engraver and typographer before dedicating himself to freelance graphic design.

He had achieved financial success, but the stress of managing so many projects at once began to damage his health, and he collapsed at the age of 28.

From 1895[4] to about 1900, Bradley produced some of the elaborate posters and full-page magazine advertisements commissioned by ink manufacturer Ault & Wiborg; his designs have been collected by noted institutions, including Library of Congress[5] and the University of Delaware.

[7] Bradley founded his own production company, Dramafilms, and went on to write, produce and direct his own films, including Bitter Fruit (1920),[8][9] Moongold (1920) and The Tame Cat (1921).
