Catalogue Note
The present model was first presented in 1888. Othello is the title character of William Shakespeare's acclaimed play Othello, the Moor of Venice, a general in the Venetian army who was tricked into believing that his wife Desdemona is having an affair with one of his soldiers. He kills his wife out of jealousy, only to realize that his wife was faithful, at which point he commits suicide.
