G Bernard Shaw with a broad right-hand oval
A large fine G opens the abbreviated first group. Bernard and Shaw follow in more compact connected forms, with taller upper strokes near the surname and a very broad oval extension at the right. Compare that final enclosure with the readable smaller words: the finishing gesture expands the name’s breadth after its main writing band.

Opening, letter body and finish
The enlarged opening stands above the smaller letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 2.31×, while the whole image is 3.43 times as wide as it is tall. The rightmost ink finishes above the writing line; look at this ending separately from the slant of the letters themselves.
Loops and the lower flourish
The sample contains 7 enclosed loops and 3 main ink groups. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.
George Bernard Shaw’s signature in graphology
Traditional graphology associates enlarged initials with public emphasis. The broad oval finish adds expressive presentation after the smaller connected words, giving the specimen larger gestures at both ends.
