Fisher is one of the better known illustrators at the turn of the last century, but whose name was not that well known to the general public. Even though he specialized in illustration of pretty women, there was never a "Fisher Girl", unlike "Gibson Girl" and "Vargas Girl".Still, he is considered by some to be Gibson's successor, and it is not hard to see why. His fashionable young women have that same haughty upper class look made famous by Gibson. One can also see his influence on later illustrator such as <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1194777/the-age-of-innocence-jc-leyendecker-illustration-style">J.C.
