Nancy Smith (1881-1962) was a British designer.[1] She began her career as a book illustrator but became one of the first professional female poster designers in Britain.
In 1916, Smith became a founder member of the Decorative Art Group, founded by Henry Nevinson.[2] She created numerous posters for London Transport,[3] including one showing Epping Forest in 1922, which had become accessible by the Central Line.[4][1]
