[Leica] George Bernard Shaw used a Leica

[Peter Klein]

A Facebook group posted a 15 year-old Guardian article about playwright 
George Bernard Shaw's lifelong interest in photography. He began with 
large format and wet plates in the late 1870s.

...and in the 1930s, he was using an early Leica.

In the Facebook thread, one Michael Dembinski remarked that "GBS 
described photography using a small-negative camera like the Leica as 
being like producing 'frog-spawn'. Looking for this quote, I asked 
Google AI, which helpfully told me that "Shaw was a keen amateur 
photographer who owned a Leica M Monochrom "

Nice try, AI. Although, come to think of it, Shaw was a friend of H.G. 
Wells. So perhaps he used Wells' time machine.
