In the instances in which Lovecraft actually used the word shew, I'd prefer to read exactly what he wrote.

Yes, it's a variant of show, but part of Lovecraft's charm is his diction.

I would not, however, be in favor of substituting shew for show as a global if Lovecraft used both but you're unsure as to where. Have you got an original file with shew extant so that you can do a search for each instance?
