About ninety-three years ago, “Fish” was the name scribbled on those unique cartoon illustrations that could be found throughout Vogue (both American and British) and Vanity Fair. The editor of American Vogue between the years 1914 and 1952, Edna Woolman Chase (1877 – 1957) called this English cartoonist “brilliant” and began running her drawings from her earliest days in that office; her full name was Ann Fish and this article will tell you all we know about her.
“This most cosmopolitan of living black-and-white satirists has never stirred from England in all her days. She has never especially extended herself as a spectator of the London life which she so amusingly depicts. She has never gazed on Fifth Avenue.”
