Author: MAX BEERBOHM
Title: Two Original Watercolour Cartoons relating to the affair between George Bernard Shaw and Mrs Patrick Campbell. Titled "Mrs. Campbell and Mr. Shaw as They Respectively Appeared to Themselves," and "Mrs. Campbell and Mr. Shaw as They Respectively Appear to Each Other."
Description: 1922. 2 original watercolours, each approximately 210 x 190 mm. signed "Max," titled and dated July 1922. In later mounts and frames. Unpublished during Beerbohm's lifetime [1872 - 1956], perhaps because they are slightly crueller than many of his caricatures and he was closely acquainted with both subjects. They first appeared in Alan Dent's biography of Mrs. Patrick Campbell [1961] as from the collection of S.H. Benson Ltd. a leading London advertising agency in the mid 20th century. They were sold at Phillips, London [Sale no. 979, 2nd June 1992, lots 13 and 14].
