Arbuthnot, Malcolm, 1877-1967. George Bernard Shaw Collection.

Title: George Bernard Shaw Collection. 1879-1950.

Collection consists of eight boxes and four albums of photographs (various processes represented), spanning the 19th and 20th centuries. A large portion of these images are portraits of Shaw. Other subjects include stills from play productions, actors, and film stills from George Bernard Shaw plays adapted for film. Also included are a number of photographs of Shaw with such notable personalities as H. G. Wells, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Charlie Chaplin, Marion Davies, Clark Gable, Auguste Rodin, and Helen Keller. The images were made by various photographers including Alvin Langdon Coburn, Howard Coster, W. & D. Downey, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Frederick Evans, Yousuf Karsh, Florence Vandamm, and Shaw himself. Three of the albums were assembled by the Ransom Center in Shaw's original groupings. The fourth album was assembled by a Ms. B. L. Lyle, of the Lyles of Westbourne, and it contains ten images of Shaw, and five images taken by him. Taken together this collection of photographs provides an excellent overview of Shaw as both dramatist and man.
