George Bernard Shaw Handwritten Postcard Signed

Handwritten postcard signed by Irish playwright and Nobel Prize-winning author George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), dated December 2, 1942, from Ayot St. Lawrence, Hertfordshire, England.

One of the most influential dramatists of the 20th century, Shaw received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925. His best-known works include Pygmalion, Man and Superman, and Saint Joan. The postcard is matted and framed alongside a photographic portrait of Shaw, with the recipient's address visible through a window in the framing. Exhibits toning, staining, and age-related wear, appearing in fair condition. Not examined outside of frame. Estimate $400 - $600
