Anton Otto Fischer (1882-1962) was a 20th century illustrator best known for his paintings of maritime subjects. He was born in Germany and orphaned at a young age. As a teen he worked his way to the U.S. as a deckhand aboard a merchant ship.
He eventually went to Paris to study art, and by 1910 he was beginning to sell his work to magazines such as Harper's and the Saturday Evening Post. He also illustrated books. During WWII he was commissioned into the U.S. Coast Guard.
