Kerry Lee
Kerry Lee was educated at Reading Schools of Arts and Science, the Slade and the Paris-Sorbonne University. Lee subsequently assisted his step-father, an architect named Mr. Harvey, as a draftsman. Following the Depression, Lee set up Associated Artists' at Blandford Studios off Baker Street, with a group of other commercial artists. During World War II, he was based in Hertfordshire and created detailed cut-away drawings of German aircraft. After the war, Lee was still at Blandford Studios and published a series of pictorial maps, both those as Travel Posters for British Railways and also as his own publications.
