content: This black and white lithograph depicts an attorney presenting a client with a bill in a divorce case. The dialogue beneath the print indicates that the lawyer is named Iago, and the client is called Othello. presumably a reference to William Shakespeare's play <i> Othello</i>. In fact, this dark, satirical print may have been used as promotional materials for a production of the Shakespearean tragedy in which Iago dupes Othello into a murderous rage against his wife, Desdemona.
