The new British passport is to feature Bournemouth architect Elisabeth Scott across two of its visa pages.
The design includes both her famous work, the Royal Shakespeare Theatre at Stratford, and Bournemouth Pier theatre.
There is also a rare portrait of Elisabeth Scott along with a background coast map of Bournemouth.
Among those featured on other pages is her cousin Sir Giles Gilbert Scott.
Others highlighted include John Constable and Antony Gormley.
It seems strange that Elisabeth Scott has not one mention in the town of her birth. No blue plaque, no information board or other acknowledgement.
