Harrison Fisher (1875-1934) was an American illustrator, renowned for his depictions of women, often referred to as the 'Fisher Girl'.

Born in 1875 in Brooklyn, New York, Fisher was influenced by his artist father and grandfather. He spent much of his youth in San Francisco where he studied at the San Francisco Art Association.

In 1898, Fisher moved to New York City and began his career as a newspaper and magazine illustrator.

His illustrations quickly gained popularity, and he became known for his ability to capture the essence of feminine beauty. Fisher's 'Fisher Girl' became as iconic as Charles Dana Gibson's 'Gibson Girl', symbolising the ideal American woman of the early 20th century.

His subjects were often depicted as lithe, elegant, athletic and independent, reflecting the changing roles of women in society.

Fisher's work appeared regularly on the covers of major publications such as Cosmopolitan, Harper's Bazaar and the Saturday Evening Post.

His illustrations were not only visually appealing but also conveyed a sense of vitality and charm. Fisher's success was such that Cosmopolitan Magazine dubbed him 'The World's Greatest Artist' in the 1920s.

In addition to his commercial work, Fisher was involved in the arts community, serving on the jury of the 'Fame and Fortune' contest for Motion Picture Classic magazine in 1921-22, where he helped to discover the 'It-girl' Clara Bow.

His legacy is marked by his significant contributions to American illustration and his ability to capture the spirit of his time through his art.
