GEORGE BERNARD SHAW (1856-1950)
Autograph postcard, signed 'G. Bernard Shaw', 11 November 1929, to Eric Swenn, declining an invitation to speak at a luncheon '[it] might very well serve as an opportunity for a declaration of the attitude of the new Labor [sic] Government towards the Irish Free State, it would hardly be correct to put forward a literary celebrity to introduce him to the foreign press', he suggests asking Mr Macdonald or Lord Passfield, 'Certainly I am the last person to be considered, not the first' (slightly smudged).
Autograph photographic postcard by Dorothy Hickling, 117 Ebury Street, S.W.1, depicting a smiling George Bernard Shaw, head-and-shoulders, signed 'G. Bernard Shaw', from Ayot St Lawrence, 23 February 1930, to Eric Swenne, 'No: hang it all! I will not be made an excuse for these banquets. Find some other victim. Lots of literary people like them. I don't - and won't'.
