Herman Hecht (1923-1985) was born into a Jewish family on 11th April 1923 in Bingen, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Hecht came to England in 1939 and was briefly interned in 1940 as a category C enemy alien. After studying at Leeds and Chelsea schools of art he worked for many years as personal assistant to Hans Schleger and in advertising and design studios. He married Ann Cave in 1957 after meeting at a graphics studio where both worked. Hecht ran his own design studio from 1958-1964. In 1964 he took up a position as a graphic design lecturer at Croydon College of Art, later becoming the Senior Lecturer and Course Director for the College's Department of Graphic Design. Hecht continued to produce work on a freelance basis as well as writing and lecturing on design. A magic lantern and slide collector and writer and early cinema enthusiast, Hecht undertook extensive research in preparation for a reference volume on pre-cinema history and inventions to 1896. His work was nearing completion when he died suddenly in 1985, aged 62.
