26133. Fischer, Katrina Sigsbee and Alex A. Hurst. ANTON OTTO FISCHER: Marine Artist. Nantucket. 1984. 235 p. DJ. Signed by the author. Published in 1984 and long out-of-print, this is a fascinating, generously illustrated biography of an impoverished man who became a much loved marine artist. A seaman first, Anton Otto Fischer (1882-1962) got his start in the art world as a model and general helper for A.B. Frost, later becoming a very popular illustrator for such publications as The Saturday Evening Post. He also illustrated Moby Dick, 20,000 Leagues under the Sea and the rare tale “Tugboat Annie.” The marine paintings collected here often depict the dramatic moments of battle and their aftermath, and the trials of travel and immigration by ocean. Beautifully detailed with strong emotional content. 235 illustrations include photographs, sketches, drawings, pen & ink, and paintings (many in color). $45
