Exquisite 4 x 6.5 cabinet photo of the youthful Irish writer by W. & D. Downey of London, signed on the mount in fountain pen, "I used to look like this. G. Bernard Shaw, 16 Oct. 1929." In fine condition, with slightly trimmed edges. At the time of signing, Shaw was 73 years old—and well-recognized as the leading dramatist of his generation, having been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925.
