'The Genu-ine Othello', 1861.
'The Genu-ine Othello', 1861. In this cartoon, the slave is depicted as the real Othello quoting an approximation of a couplet from Shakespeare's play. He has been given a speaking style which shows the contemporary attitude to blacks. On the left of the slave is President Lincoln and on the right is President Davis. Both men are armed with long swords as they prepare for a fight to the death, but 'Othello' instructs them to put up their swords. From Punch, or the London Charivari, November 9, 1861.
