TLS signed “G. Bernard Shaw,” one page, 8 x 5, personal letterhead, September 19, 1949. Letter to Robert M. MacGregor of Theatre Art Books. In full: “Do not waste your time trying to promote the circulation of any book of mine: I assure you I am sufficiently well known as an author to make the effort superfluous. The photographs of the Webbs and of my wife were taken by myself. Those of Ellen Terry and Irving are professional; and the copyright must belong to the photographers if it has not expired. I cannot give you date: you must guess them from the age of the sitters. I have made many photographs as an amateur.” In fine condition, with two vertical folds (one passing through a single letter of the signature) and soiling to edges. Accompanied by MacGregor’s retained carbon copy of his initial letter, requesting information on the photographs published in Ellen Terry & Bernard Shaw: A Correspondence. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
