Original Photograph
Original 8 x 10 inch photograph of the important Irish playwright and music critic. An unusual image of Shaw with his walking stick slung over his shoulder, contemplating a small statue of a lamb. Verso news clipping ("Literature's 'Lion' and the Lamb") reads in part: "Welwyn, Eng. Hand on hip, George Bernard Shaw, who at ninety is still the greatest figure in English letters, contemplates the statue of a lamb in the grounds of Ayot St. Lawrence, his home at Welwy, Herefordshire. A vociferous vegetarian, he hopes to have sheep and cattle at his funeral, wearing white scarves in honor of the man who refused to eat his fellow creatures." (4302)Unsigned Photo Theater
