This print shows actor Edwin Booth as Iago in a Shakespeare play. It was made in 1869 by a printing company called Johnson, Fry & Co. The print mixes Impressionism and Realism styles. It’s a quick snapshot of Booth’s Iago—no grand sets, just the moment. Johnson, Fry & Co. often turned famous actors into popular prints.
