EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite postcard print depicts Desdemona, the tragic heroine from William Shakespeare's classic play "Othello." Published by Humphrey Milford as part of their "Shakespeares Heroines" series in 1922, this postcard features a beautiful illustration by the talented artist Amy Millicent Sowerby. Desdemona, a noble Venetian woman, is renowned for her beauty, virtue, and deep love for the Moorish general Othello. However, her life is tragically cut short by the jealousy and manipulation of her husband, who is led to believe that she has been unfaithful. In this illustration, Desdemona is depicted in a moment of tender vulnerability, her expressive eyes filled with sadness and despair. She is shown reclining on a bed, her hand reaching out towards an open letter, perhaps the very one that will ultimately seal her fate. The soft, muted colors and intricate details of the artwork perfectly capture the melancholic and emotional depth of the character. Amy Millicent Sowerby was a renowned English illustrator and painter, known for her beautiful and evocative depictions of literary and mythological figures. Her work for the "Shakespeares Heroines" series, which included illustrations of Juliet, Ophelia, and Lady Macbeth, among others, showcased her exceptional talent and her deep understanding of the complex emotions and motivations of Shakespeare's iconic heroines. This postcard print is a beautiful and poignant reminder of the enduring power of Shakespeare's tragic tales and the timeless beauty of Amy Millicent Sowerby's art.
