United Air Lines - New England Fisherman

Coastal New England is one of America's proudest gems. Rocky coastlines from Maine to Connecticut are dotted with lighthouses, fishing villages, and dramatic shores. These beautiful features have long made it a tourist destination, as this 1950s United Air Lines poster shows. A classic fisherman takes center stage, his hand-cast net overflowing with fresh fish. United's latest model Douglas DC-6 soars east in the background.

Joseph Feher (1908-1987) was a Hungarian born watercolorist who immigrated to Chicago during the post-WWI years. There he studied illustration at the Chicago Art Institute. He first visited Hawaii in 1934, where he fell in love with the community, culture, and natural beauty of the islands. He moved there permanently in 1947, and he continued his successful illustration career alongside teaching for 40 years. He created many posters for United Air Lines, as well as Hawaiian tourism maps and posters for the Dole Pineapple Company.
