This print shows Gertrude Elliott playing Desdemona in Shakespeare’s *Othello*. Made in the late 1800s, it’s a black-and-white print by the Australian team J. & L. Caswall-Smith. It’s one of many prints the Victoria and Albert Museum keeps from that era. The museum says it captures Elliott on stage as Desdemona. Check out more prints by J. & L. Caswall-Smith.
