IAGO. (Jeff Davis.) |
|
"For that I do suspect the lusty
moor hath leap'd into my seat; the thought |
|
|
|
|
whereof doth like a poisonous mineral
gnaw my inwards." - Othello |

HarpWeek Commentary:
Thomas Nast incorporated Shakespearean references into over
100 cartoons. Here, in 1870, Jeff Davis as Iago is skulking outside the Senate, where his pre-war
Mississippi seat is now occupied by Hiram Revels, the first black Senator, (the Moor).
The four Republican Senators (left to right) are Henry Wilson (MA), Oliver Morton
(IN), Carl Shurz (MO), and Charles Sumner (MA). |
