About the Item

Medium: Oil on Canvas Signature: Signed and Dated Lower Right Inscribed "PAGE #17/'Stay outta this, you hear?' he yelped in sharp alarm. 'This is my job!'" on the reverse. Harold von Schmidt illustrated many stories for the Saturday Evening Post including "Tugboat Annie" written by Norman Reilly Raine. Harold von Schmidt grew up in the West a generation after Remington and Russell, but had a close kinship with them and the Old West throughout his painting career. A native Californian, von Schmidt was orphaned at five and reared by his grandfather who had been a Forty-niner. His grandfather’s stories, together with his own experiences as a construction worker, lumberjack, and cowhand gave him authoritative insight into the earlier era. He studied at the San Francisco Art Institute and the California College of Arts and Crafts, also with Worth Ryder and Maynard Dixon. His first art job was as an art director for Foster & Kleiser, followed by illustrating for Sunset magazine. In 1924, von Schmidt came East to study further with Harvey Dunn. He always acknowledged the tremendous effect that Dunn’s teaching had on his career. It was Dunn who taught him to paint the epic aspect of the text rather than the incidental, and he always kept to this high standard. He was a member of the American Olympic Rugby Football team at Antwerp, Belgium, in 1920, and was an ardent athlete all his life; he also played baseball, hockey, and coached the local High School football team once he moved to Connecticut. Feeling that an artist should be active in civic affairs, he served as a Selectman for the Town of Westport for eight years, and was on the Board of Finance, the Police Commission, and the Public Library Board. During World War I, von Schmidt designed posters for the U. S. Navy; during World War II, he was an invited artist-correspondent for the U. S. Air Force in the European Theatre of Operations, and artist-correspondent for King Features Syndicate in the Pacific Theatre of Operations. Twelve of his paintings depicting the westward trek and the Gold Rush of 1849 were hung in the Governor’s office in Sacramento, California; five Civil War paintings are in the permanent collection of the United States Military Academy at West Point, and many others are in important private collections. Von Schmidt as a life trustee of the Artists Guild, New York; president of the Society of Illustrators from 1938-41; a member and officer of the American Indian Defense Association; president of the Westport Artists, 1950-51; and a founding member of the Famous Artists Schools in Westport, Connecticut. He was awarded the first Gold Medal by the trustees of the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in 1968, and was elected to the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame in 1959. His biography was published by Northland Press in 1972.

"Little Tolo" Saturday Evening Post Illustration, December 30, 1922

By Anton Otto Fischer

Located in Fort Washington, PA

Medium: Oil on Canvas Signature: Signed Lower Right The illustration depicts a clipper ship at sea. "Little Tolo," a story illustration for the Saturday Evening Post, December 30, 1922. 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...
