George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was an Irish playwright and a co-founder of the London School of Economics. He wrote more than 60 plays and is the only person to have been awarded both a Nobel Prize in Literature (1925) and an Oscar (1938), for his contributions to literature and for his work on the film 'Pygmalion' (adaptation of his play of the same name). In 1898, Shaw married Charlotte Payne-Townshend whom he survived. They settled in Ayot St Lawrence in a house now called Shaw's Corner. In 1925 he was staying in Thurso; having been ill his wife had taken him to Caithness and then to Orkney for his convalescence, and it is probable this image dates from that time. Shaw died in Ayot St Lawrence, aged 94, from chronic problems exacerbated by injuries he incurred by falling from a ladder.
