    Well, Wikipedia normally lets you click on an image to go to its details page, and there’s a section for credit.

    It’s apparently one John Maynard Friedman.

    EDIT: Not his real name, though:

    My user-name for many years has been user:John Maynard Friedman, which is a twist on an occasional urban myth about my home city, Milton Keynes. Despite the myth, MK is not named after Milton Friedman and John Maynard Keynes. The name is centuries old and comes from that of an ancient village, now part of the new city. Though it could be that JMK is descended from the de Cahaignes, the Anglo-Norman family who once owned these parts.
