Christian Barman (1898-1980), notable as the editor of 'Architectural Review' and later as the publicity officer for the London Passenger Transport Board, was a key figure in promoting the modern movement. His influence extended beyond his editorial roles, making him a prominent advocate for modern design and architectural ideologies during his career. A copy of an advert of the time is attached for reference.
