Photography: Robeson as Othello Color photographic print of Paul Robeson as Othello, with Jose Ferrer as Iago and Uta Hagen as Desdemona. This version was produced in 1943-44. It´s hard to convey what an incredible man Robeson was: he was a great actor, fine singer, all-American athlete, noted scholar, and political activist - and he had a law degree from Columbia! Imagine if Denzel Washington, Reggie White, Jesse Jackson, Cornel West, and Otis Redding were all the same man! Framed, overall size 20" x 16.75". Fine. Estimate US$ 30-40
