1933 ORIGINAL GEORGE BERNARD SHAW PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPH
A vintage original portrait photograph of George Bernard Shaw, 1856 to 1950, known at his insistence as Bernard Shaw, an Irish playwright, critic, polemicist and political activist. Soon after his famous and controversial visit to the Soviet Union, he is depicted holding the Soviet propaganda magazine "USSR in Construction". The picture was taken in 1933 during the rehearsals of his play On the Rocks: A Political Comedy which deals with the social crisis of the Great Depression. The entire play is set in the Cabinet Room of 10 Downing Street. It is noted for its evidence of Shaw's political evolution towards apparent support for dictatorship.
