Trevor Lloyd (21 December 1863 – 11 September 1937) was a New Zealand artist, illustrator and cartoonist. Lloyd was born in Wade (now called Silverdale), north of Auckland, New Zealand, on 21 December 1863 to Henry and Hannah (née Miles) Lloyd. Lloyd’s work is evocative of the New Zealand bush and his work often contained Maori motifs. Lloyd exhibited with the Auckland Society of Arts in 1883, 1896, 1898, 1899 and 1907 and in 1927 at the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts. Some examples of his work are available online. Lloyd was employed as an illustrator for ''New Zealand Illustrated Magazine'' from November 1901 until its last edition in 1905 (in which he was acknowledged). He also worked as an illustrator for ''Auckland Weekly News'' and as a cartoonist for ''
