The Zec family fled Tsarist Russia and settled in London prior to the First World War. "At the age of thirteen, he won a scholarship to St. Martin's School of Art, and upon graduating he joined Arks Publicity, an advertising agency. He later set up his own commercial art studio working for agencies including J. Walter Thompson, when all his railway work was commissioned" (Furness vol. 7 p. 233). The majority of his posters were made as propaganda during World War II in an entirely different style from his train poster designs (see Swann Sale 2490 Lot 165).
