Footnote
Note: Some of the most memorable graphic images of mid 20th century Britain were the work of the designer Abram Games. As an Official War Artist during World War II, he designed over a hundred posters and later created the symbols of the BBC and the Festival of Britain, as shown in the top of this occasional table.
