        History

        Alfred Hugh Fisher was born in London in 1867 and educated at the City of London School and University College London. He spent nine years working in business before giving up work to study art in London and Paris and subsequently became known as and engraver, etcher and illustrator. In July 1907 the Colonial Office Visual Instruction Committee chose him to illustrate lecture materials about the British Empire that they were producing for schoolchildren and he spent much of the following two years travelling through the Empire, taking photographs for the project; these photographs have been preserved by the Royal Commonwealth Society. Fisher died in 1945.
