SHAKESPEARE Othello Moor of Venice Elephant FOLIO Rare ART
“Othello, the Moor of Venice,” penned by William Shakespeare, is
a tragic narrative exploring themes of jealousy, love, and racial tension. The
story unfolds as Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army, secretly
marries Desdemona, a young and affluent Venetian woman, stirring controversy
and disapproval from her father. Iago, Othello’s deceitful ensign, manipulates
situations to inflame Othello’s jealousy, driving him to fatally harm his wife
in a deluded state. The play critically examines complex human emotions and
societal issues, maintaining relevance and popularity over the years.
This significantly rare first edition, presented in an impressive
elephant folio format, provides an introduction by Edward Dowden and includes
12 vibrant illustrations by English Victorian artist, Sir Francis Bernard
Dicksee, who is celebrated for his visual renditions of dramatic scenes from
literature, history, and legend.
