A National Jewish Welfare Board World War I poster by Riesenberg, c. 1918

Of Riesenberg's work, his contributions during World War I are well known and he is described as "one of the greatest illustrators of the World War I era." Riesenberg's style, it has been said, shows influences from Impressionism. Among other posters, it was selected to display in the Smithsonian American Art Museum under the exhibit, Over the Top: American Posters from World War I.

Riesenberg created illustrations, including covers, for many national publications such as Boys' Life Magazine, the monthly magazine of the Boy Scouts of America, Harper's, The Saturday Evening Post,
