Alfred EISENSTAEDT: George Bernard Shaw

Alfred Eisenstaedt: George Bernard Shaw, 1932

"In 1932, I traveled to London hoping to photograph George Bernard Shaw. People told me he was very difficult and inaccessible, but I was also told that he was a vegetarian. So I bought a bunch of bananas and sent these, together with a portfolio of my photographs, to his home at Whitehall Court. Two days later I was asked to visit him. He looked through my photographs and said, 'You don't have to make me pose, I am a photographer myself." - Alfred Eisenstaedt
