Here's another variant. I can't see Beck's name on it, but the

Yes, I came across that, apparent, plagiarism of Beck's efforts.

"This extraordinary world map by noted Bauhaus designer and artist,
Laszlo
Moholy-Nagy, draws on the pioneering information design work of Harry
Beck
and his London subway maps"


Hmm. "draws on" - spelt p-l-a-g .....
