Son of the fashionable Edwardian portraitist, Samuel Melton Fisher, he was a skilled painter of portraits and still life who worked in Kensington and taught at Dulwich College. This unusual painting represents the skyline of Campden Hill, Kensington, London, near Fisher's studio on Uxbridge Street in the 1930s. "The Monarch" was a nickname for the water tower, built in 1847 on the corner of Campden Hill Road and Aubrey Walk which dominated the area until its demolition in 1970
