EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1891 lithograph print showcases the iconic characters of Othello and Iago from William Shakespeare's renowned play, "The Moor of Venice". The vibrant colors bring to life the dramatic scene, capturing the essence of Victorian theatre. In this portrayal, Othello, a heroic figure with his commanding presence and noble attire, stands tall as a symbol of strength and courage. His dark complexion reflects his North African origins, emphasizing his unique identity as a Moorish man. Meanwhile, Iago lurks in the background with an enigmatic expression on his face, hinting at the treacherous nature that lies beneath. The print not only serves as a visual representation of these complex characters but also pays homage to Shakespeare's literary genius. It is evident that great care was taken in depicting every detail – from their meticulously designed costumes to their expressive postures. As we gaze upon this lithograph today, it transports us back to the 19th century when Shakespearian plays were at their peak popularity. It reminds us of the enduring power of literature and its ability to transcend time and place. This remarkable piece is not just an artistic creation; it is a testament to the timeless allure of theatre and acting. It invites us into a world where heroes are born on stage through words penned by one of history's greatest playwrights – William Shakespeare himself.
