"Mr. Gallup Delivers the Goods", Saturday Evening Post Illustration, Januar
By Anton Otto Fischer
Located in Fort Washington, PA
Medium: Oil on Canvas Signature: Signed and Dated Lower Right Illustration for the Saturday Evening Post. The illustration depicts a man being booted off the ship. "Mr. Gallup Delivers the Goods" story was written by Norman Reilly Raine for the January 11, 1947 issue of Saturday Evening Post. The marine paintings by Anton Otto Fischer are as authoritative as only a working sailor could make them. Born in Munich, Germany but orphaned as a boy, Fischer ran away to sea at 16 and spent eight years before the mast on a variety of sailing ships. Paid off in New York, he stayed to apply for American citizenship and to teach seamanship on the school ship, "St. Mary's." He later served as a hand on racing yachts on Long Island Sound and worked as a model and handyman for the illustrator A.B. Frost. When he had saved enough money, he spent two years at the Academie Julian in Paris under Laurens. Returning to the United States, Fischer sold his first picture to Harper's Weekly in 1908, around the time he moves to Wilmington to receive critiques from Pyle. Everybody's magazine sent him the first of several Jack London stories. In 1910, he began a 48-year association with The Saturday Evening Post, which included illustrating seialized characters such as Peter B. Kyne's "Crappy Ricks," Norman Reilly Raine's "Tugoat Annie," Guy Gilpatrick's "Glencannon," as well as serials for Kenneth Robert...

"The Pearl of Panama"
By Anton Otto Fischer
Located in Fort Washington, PA
Medium: Oil on Canvas Signature: Signed Lower Left Sight Window 24.00" x 22.00" Image of an inspector at a crime scene aboard ship. Saturday Evening Post Illustration. Long affiliated with The Saturday Evening Post (nearly 50 years), he did dozens of covers and much story art, most notably the long-running Tug-Boat Annie and with maritime painting, Fischer was more versatile than depicting the sail and dreadnaughts when given a chance. Still, he's best known for painting the sea, her beauty and her dangers (whether hurricanes or U-Boats). It's no surprise that his oils graced such titles as The Cruise of the Cachalot: Round the World After Sperm Whales, Treasure Island, The Mutineers, 20000 Leagues Under the Sea...
