[Othello] Robeson, Paul. (1898-1976). Signed Photograph as Othello. Oversize program photograph of Robeson in his celebrated portrayal of Othello, boldly signed in blue ink, "Kind wishes, Paul Robeson." 21 x 28 cm. Small tears to edges, else fine and sold together with an unsigned 1945 recital program presumably from when the photograph was signed.



The British Shakespeare critic, John Dover Wilson, called Robeson's performance in the 1943-1944 Broadway production, with Jose Ferrer as Iago and Uta Hagen as Desdemona, "the most notable one in the present century." In a 1971 radio interview, Margaret Webster - the director of the production - said that “Paul brought qualities with him which I never have seen equaled before or since."
