Fred Taylor (1875-1963) was one of the most important poster artists in Great Britain from 1908 to the 1940s. He was best known for his architectural posters. Born in London, he studied at Goldsmith's College and later worked in the studios of Waring and Gillow. He received commissions from the British railways to photograph architectural features of towns along the railway lines for advertising purposes. The Royal Mail Steamship Company also hired him to travel to South America and photograph travel motifs for advertising. In addition to poster design, he created murals for the Underwriters' Room at Lloyds and for the Red Lacquer Room at Austin Reed. He exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy and various other art societies in London, as well as at the Paris Salon.
