Shaw's Boswell - Frederick Loewenstein consults a volume from his library, Archibald. Henderson's "Shaw, playboy and Prophet"; every book is either by Shaw or has some bearing on him. Dr Loewenstein has the nearest thing to a complete collection of Shaw's writings that there is in existence, books, magazines old and new, tattered newspaper. He is a constant customer of secondhand booksellers; his bibliographer's eye has sought out many treasures, including valuable first editions. Behind Dr Loewenstein, in the corner, hang a pair of woollen mittens, saved from Shaw's wastepaper basket when he had done with them (victim of had circulation, he wears them to keep his hands warm while writing). Shaw did not want them preserved; Loewenstein did not want them photographed. July 28, 1947. (Photo by Pictorial Press).
