DeFeo, Charles (sold)
Charles DeFeo (1892 - 1978) was an American artist and illustrator best known for his wildlife and fish portraits. DeFeo was born in New Castle, Delaware and studied under Howard Pyle in Wilmington before leaving school and moving to New York where he spent the rest of his life. He continued his art studies in New York, and soon gained a reputation for his fish and game bird illustrations. As a young man, he also made a living creating cover art for sport and detective magazine. In the 1940 and 1950s, his fish and bird paintings were used by the Seagrams Company in prized annual calendars. DeFeo was also a world-class fly fisherman known for tying elaborate flies. He often fished with the baseball great Ted Williams, and the pair sometimes would go fishing in South America during the off-season. DeFeo was married to Bessie W. Slade for more than thirty years.

This is a 1947 Waldo Bemis pictorial fishing or angling map of the United States. Depicting the entire continental United States, Bemis uses shading to indicate the distribution of warm-water fish, cold-water fish, and areas where one could potentially find either warm- or cold-water fish. Red circles and stars with white numbers appear throughout, although the vast majority are along the coastlines. These indicate locations where record fish were caught of each of the fifty-three species of fish illustrated in the border. All these notations are explained in a key situated in the lower right quadrant. Vignettes of fishermen are included across the United States, all of whom are experiencing a different degree of success. Vignettes of fishing animals, such as otters, brown bears, seals, and wading birds, also add to this map's appeal. (more details)
