About the artist
Harry Beck - 1931
Harry Beck is best known for designing the diagrammatic map of London's Underground system. He proposed the design in 1931, whilst working as a draughtsman for the Underground. In 1933, after the formation of the London Transport, Frank Pick gave the design a trial printing. It proved to be popular and easily understood by Underground passengers, and has been used ever since. Beck also designed a number of posters for the Underground Group in the early 1930's.
