John Farleigh

John Farleigh CBE (16 June 1900 – 30 March 1965), also known as Frederick William Charles Farleigh, was an English wood-engraver, noted for his illustrations of George Bernard Shaw's work ''The Adventures of the Black Girl in Her Search for God'', 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. He was also a painter, lithographer, author and art tutor. Provided by Wikipedia
