Nobel Prize–winning Irish dramatist and critic (1856–1950) who takes a place among the most distinguished and influential literary figures of his time. ALS signed “G. Bernard Shaw,” on a 3.5 x 4.5 postcard, October 28, 1895. Letter to Mr. Brownlow. In full: “I have withdrawn my nomination, and written to our nominee to say so. However, I shall send on your letter to Pease to make the situation complete. On Friday it turned out that at least four members of the executive were determined to block her candidature; and probably some of the others would have done the same if the responsibility had not been taken off their shoulders. It is rather hard on her; but it cannot be helped.” Reverse of the postcard is addressed in Shaw’s hand. In fine condition, with scattered toning and soiling and a tape remnant along top edge of reverse. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
