Online collection reveals Shaw the photographer
The photographs include pictures of film stars such as Vivien Leigh, writers HG Wells and JM Barrie, and political and social figures of Shaw’s time including MP Lady Nancy Astor.
Shaw, who died 60 years ago, was a keen photographer and about 70% of the photographs in the collection were taken by the Irish playwright and critic, while others feature him – including press shots and pictures taken on movie sets.
