Biography

Max Beerbohm was an English caricaturist, writer, dandy, and wit whose sophisticated drawings and parodies were unique in capturing, usually without malice, whatever was pretentious, affected, or absurd in his famous and fashionable contemporaries.

He was called by George Bernard Shaw “the incomparable Max.”
