Notes: John Farleigh also known as Frederick William Charles Farleigh, was an English wood-engraver, noted for his illustrations in this novel, which caused controversy when released due to the religious, sexual and racial themes within the writing and John Farleigh's complementary (and risqué) wood engravings commissioned by Shaw for the book. He is also known for his illustrations of D.H. Lawrence’s work The Man Who Died and for the posters he designed for London County Council Tramways and London Transport.
