"Fisher's
Popcorn" by Paul McGehee depicts the famous Ocean City, Maryland
boardwalk popcorn stand on a sunny summer day. Now in its fourth
generation of family ownership, the original Fisher's Popcorn stand
bagan back in 1937 at the corner of Talbot Street and Boardwalk as
Pixton's Popcorn. Everett Fisher and Edmund Pusey had a great concept
from the beginning...nothing but the finest, all-natural ingredients
were to be used for their delicious popcorn and kettle corn. Named
after Mr. Pusey's wife, it later became known as "Fisher's" after
Pusey's eventual departure from the business. Everett himself ran the
stand for many years, offering up varieties of popcorn slathered in
such tasty treats as caramel, cheese, coconut, walnuts and hot-butter.
The delectable popcorn was prepared in giant copper kettles back then,
a time-tested method still in use today. Nothing is nicer than walking
down the boardwalk listening to the surf and the gulls while you enjoy
a bucket of Fisher's Popcorn! If you wish to read more about this
longtime Ocean City family business, their website is fisherspopcorn.com. "Fisher's
Popcorn" is faithfully reproduced from Paul's original color
pencil drawing as an archival quality print issued in a strictly
limited edition of only 2,000 pieces each hand-signed by the artist.
