Description
Famed for the vibrant, decorative maps of London he produced for Frank Pick (first chief executive of the London Underground), MacDonald (Max) Gill (1884-1947) is considered among the most skilled and engaging British graphic artists of the twentieth century. His designs, unique in their wit and playfulness, served not primarily as functioning maps but as a humorous means of entertaining the British public of the early 1900s.
