A very early printed photograph of a puppet show 'Shavespeare v Shaw' by George Bernard Shaw at Waldo S Lanchester's Puppet Theatre. Waldo Sullivan Lanchester (1897–1978) was a British puppeteer who founded the Lanchester Marionettes (1935-1962), a puppet theatre that was based in Malvern, and later in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. The London Marionette Theatre was the first to broadcast puppets on television. Puppets in the photo are Shaw, Shakespeare, Rob Roy and Macbeth. Not shown are puppets for Captain Shotover and Ellie Dunn
