Today is the 87th birthday of Margaret Calvert. You might not know her, but you'll be very familiar with her work, and you've probably seen a picture of her today without even realising it.

In the 1960s, Margaret Calvert designed the pictographic road signs which are now a ubiquitous part of life in the UK. She based the girl on the Children Crossing sign on old photograph of herself.
