EDITORS COMMENTS
George Bernard Shaw, the renowned Irish playwright and critic, is depicted in this delightful caricature by Harry Furniss from February 1915. Shaw's sharp wit and biting satire made him a leading figure in London's literary scene during the 1910s. In this playful image, Furniss captures Shaw's distinctive features, including his bushy mustache and piercing gaze. The cartoonist also cleverly incorporates Shaw's famous quote, "I learn by going where I have to go," into the design, with the author holding a sign bearing the phrase. Shaw's influence on modern theater is evident in this caricature, as he is shown surrounded by theatrical props and masks. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of Shaw's work and his status as a cultural icon. Furniss's caricature is a charming and humorous representation of a man who continues to captivate audiences with his words and ideas.
