Antique Othello & Desdemona Shakespeare Engraving – Frank Dicksee – G. Goldberg

Original 19th-century engraving depicting Othello and Desdemona from William Shakespeare’s Othello, Act IV, Scene II.  This dramatic Victorian illustration was created after artwork by celebrated British painter Frank Dicksee (1853–1928) and engraved by G. Goldberg. Both artists are credited beneath the image, along with the publisher Cassell, Petter & Galpin.  The engraving depicts Desdemona kneeling before Othello and includes the Shakespeare quotation:  “Upon my knees, what doth your speech import? I understand a fury in your words But not the words.”  This is an original antique engraving, not a modern reproduction. The finely detailed image is printed on substantial period paper with generous margins, making it particularly attractive for framing.
