OBITUARY
MARK FISHER (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, April 30. The death is announced of Mark Fisher, R.A. (The late Mr Mark Fisher was born in Boston, of English and Irish parents, and was educated at a Boston public school. When quite a child he showed a marked talent for drawing, his taste and talent developing rapidly in this direction, the opportunities for studying Art at that time being much fewer than now, his earliest instruction was gained at Lowell Institute. His first efforts were portraits and figures, but his love of out-door subjects and life induced him to take up landscape and animal painting. At the age of twenty he went to Paris, and was for a short time in Gleyre’s studio; on his return to Boston he met with scant encouragement, so came to England, married and settled there).
