Photographs, cartoons, and other ephemera of George Bernard Shaw, all taken from the Richard S. Weiner Shaw Collection. The exhibit features photographs taken by Shaw, one of his many photographic diaries, photographs by noted photographers such as Steichen and Karsh, cartoons by Max Beerbohm, and other amusing items, including a photograph of Shaw and William Crawshaw, former Colgate dean and professor of English. It will be on view at Case Library and Geyer Center for Information Technology from October 15th until December 1.
A corresponding article on Shaw appears in the Colgate Scene, Summer 2009, based on materials from Special Collections along with an interview with Carl Peterson, Head of Special Collections and University Archivist.
The attached photograph is Shaw and Sir Robert Ho Tung (right), the Hong Kong industrialist and philanthropist, and grandfather of Colgate alumnus and benefactor Robert H.N. Ho ’56.
