Who is George Moore?

I don’t wonder

Inscribed: “I don’t wonder she threw the typewriter at him!” George Moore on the left side of the picture, full-length, arms at his sides with hands outstretched, looking to his left at a typewriter sailing towards his startled face. A lit cigar fumes at his feet. Margaret Gough stands in the center-right of the picture, turned towards Moore with her arms raised after throwing her typewriter.

Margaret Gough Frith was George Moore’s secretary and amanuensis and a translator of Turgenev. The scholar, author and artist Nigel Frith is her grandson and creator of The Frith Archive.
