EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a powerful moment from William Shakespeare's tragic play, Othello. The image captures the intense scene where Othello throttles Iago, portrayed by actors Lewis Waller and H B Irving respectively. This postcard, dating back to the early 20th century, is a testament to the enduring impact of Shakespeare's work. The photograph exudes raw emotion as Othello's hands tighten around Iago's throat. It symbolizes the climax of deception and lies that have consumed both characters throughout the play. As viewers, we are drawn into their struggle - witnessing the consequences of manipulation and betrayal. Othello himself stands as a central figure in this composition; his dark complexion representing his Moorish heritage adds another layer of complexity to this tragedy set in Venice. The contrast between light and shadow further enhances the dramatic tension within the image. This historical artifact not only serves as a reminder of Shakespeare's genius but also highlights how timeless themes such as jealousy, revenge, and racial prejudice continue to resonate with audiences today. Through this postcard from a private collection, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand one of literature's most gripping moments. As admirers of fine art photography or enthusiasts for theatrical history delve into this mesmerizing print by an English photographer from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder; they will undoubtedly be captivated by its evocative power and profound storytelling ability
