Harry Beck in his spare time. He was thus never actually paid for the map. Other sources report that he was paid a fee of five or ten guineas. In 1947, when he was not fully employed (having left London Transport) he began teaching typography and colour design at the London School of Printing and Kindred Trades. After long failing to acknowledge Beck's importance as the original designer of the Tube map, London Regional Transport finally created the Beck gallery at the London Transport Museum in the early 1990s, where his works are displayed. A commemorative plaque was installed at Finchley Central
Memorial Plaque (medallion) to be issued into the 1930s to commemorate people who died as a consequence of the war. It was decided that the design of the plaque, was to be chosen from submissions made in a public competition. Over 800 designs were submitted and the competition was won by the sculptor and medallist Edward Carter Preston using the pseudonym "Pyramus", receiving two first place prizes of £250 for his winning and also an alternative design. Carter Preston's winning design includes an image of Britannia holding a trident and standing with a lion. The designer's initials, E.C.P., appear above the front paw.
