Anne Harriet Fish (Sefton was her married name), born in Bristol, England, was a British cartoonist and illustrator during World War I and the early 1920s. She worked in oil, watercolor and was an illustrator who was active in London, Sussex and St. Ives, Cornwall. She married Walter Sefton in 1918.
In New York City, she did illustrations for "Vanity Fair" and "Vogue" including the cover for "Vanity Fair" in April, 1917. Her clever and cute cartoons published in Vogue and Vanity Fair established her as a humorous commentator on Post-War youth, sort of a British counterpart to America's John Held Jr.
By the mid 1920s, Anne Fish was selling her novel designs to American manufactures to produce as novelty giftware. Around the time of the First World War porcelain doll heads were no longer available from Germany, and so Fulper Pottery makers of Flemington, New Jersey, among others produced several of her designs in decorated pottery, while one or more metal companies, such as Hubley, were manufacturing Anne Fish designed lamps, bottle openers, door stops and other items in painted cast iron. Because of the whimsy exhibited in Fish characters, and their connection to the lost ingenuousness of the 1920s, these items have become highly collectable.
All of our prints are bevel matted in a very high quality, and simple off-white/ivory matting. The ACID-FREE BLACK BACK BOARD, WHICH IS NOT ATTACHED TO THE PRINT, also meets the same high quality standard. We take pride in what we sell—look at our feedback.
All mats are ACID-FREE and the small piece of tape used to attach the print to the top of the mat is artists tape. This print is truly ready to be framed and preserved.
