This print shows actor Charles Kemble playing Othello in 1840. It’s a portrait print, not a painting, by Richard James Lane. Romanticism loved drama and emotion, so this fits right in. The print lives at the Victoria and Albert Museum. It’s one of many in their H Beard Print Collection. Charles Kemble was famous for his Shakespeare roles, and Othello was a big part of that.
