Notes:
"'Othello - A Bestiary (with floral additions)' is a wordless reworking of William Shakespeare's 'Othello' as an illustrated collection of common, rare and fabulous animals. In removing the text, Borbonesa presents a deconstructed version of 'Othello' in which the storyline is plotted by the guinea-hens, baboons, blind puppies, strawberries and figs that inhabit the speeches of Shakespeare's human characters. These faunal and floral forms are arranged in their original sequence so the structure of the play is visually revealed."--Publisher's website.
