Naomi Games, daughter of graphic designer Abram Games, visited the library today to look at our WWII posters and our collection of illustrations by artist Dorrit Dekk. Abram Games was a prominent graphic designer and was Official War Artist during the Second World War, designing hundreds of iconic wartime posters. He also designed work for London Transport and many other clients, including producing the logo for the 1951 Festival of Britain.

Naomi wrote the Guardian obituary for Dorrit Dekk, a close friend of Abram, who died in December 2014. Dekk was a well respected graphic designer, artist and illustrator. Some examples of Dekk’s work are included within the archive of the Workers’ Educational Association deposited at the TUC Library. Dekk had been commissioned by the WEA in the 1950s to produce artwork for the cover of their monthly magazine, The Highway.
