Alfred Hugh Fisher: An English etcher, engraver, illustrator and painter, Alfred Hugh Fisher was educated at the University College Schools, Lambeth School and South Kensington, and then concluded his formal studies in Paris, under Laurens and Constant. Concentrating mostly upon original printmaking and illustration, Alfred Hugh Fisher was appointed as an artist to the Visual Instruction Committee of the Colonial Office, which gave him opportunity to travel extensively throughout the British Empire and elsewhere. Etchings and drypoints of New Zealand, India, Burma, Hungary, France and England were published in London by Greatorex in signed editions of forty to one hundred impressions. A. Hugh Fisher was also an accomplished etcher and engraver of portraits, figure studies and animal depictions. Many of Alfred Hugh Fisher's engravings were created in a series form. These include his twenty-one views of Winchester, created by the artist from 1924 to 1927. Other series are his etchings of Provence (14), Views of York (7) and Views of Paris and Budapest. His fine etchings were exhibited at the Royal Academy, the R.B.A. and with the Royal Engravers. A. Hugh Fisher was elected an Associate of the Royal Engravers and was a full member of the Chicago Society of Etchers and the California Print Makers. He lived and worked for lengthy periods of time in both Amberly, Sussex, and Risborough. Alfred Hugh Fisher was also active as an author and published several volumes of poetry. He both illustrated and wrote such books as, The Cathedral Church of Hereford (1898), The Marriage of Ilario (1919) and Through India and Burmah with Pen and Brush (1911). Today such major public galleries as the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, include examples of his original prints in their collections.
