From LinkedCulture
This 1847 steel engraving gives Desdemona a face, long dark hair falling loose beneath a jewelled headpiece, a fur-trimmed gown, and one hand raised gently to her chin, her expression caught in quiet melancholy. Created by B. Eyles after a painting by A. Lee and published in London by David Bogue, it was part of a Victorian gift-book tradition that brought Shakespeare's heroines into domestic parlours as idealised portraits. It matters because it shows how audiences chose to remember Desdemona, not in terror, but in a moment of thoughtful calm before her fate arrived.
