"Nancy Smith was born Annie Smith in 1881. She illustrated her first book, The Making of School Illustrations in 1909. . . . Her bold depictions of London's countryside could be seen across the capital in the Underground posters she designed between 1915 and 1922. Her arrangement of detail into flat blocks of colour, infused with light, translated into striking and timeless posters." (www.ltmcollection.org).
