"Othello, from Tregear's Black Jokes" is a graphic work published in 1834 by T.S. Tregear in London and created by W. Summers. It is part of a series of racially charged satirical prints known as "Tregear's Black Jokes," which were produced during the 1830s. These prints were a part of the wider genre of ethnographic caricature that was prevalent in the 19th century, reflecting the racial prejudices of the time. The series is named after the publisher, Thomas S. Tregear, who was active in the 1830s and 1840s and known for producing a variety of satirical and humorous prints.

The specific print titled "Othello" is likely a reference to the titular character from William Shakespeare's tragedy "Othello, the Moor of Venice." The play, which explores themes of racism, jealousy, and betrayal, was a well-known work in the cultural consciousness of 19th-century Britain. However, in the context of "Tregear's Black Jokes," the character of Othello would have been depicted in a manner that caricatured and mocked African features and identity, in line with the racist attitudes of the series.

The artist, W. Summers, contributed to the visual culture of the period through such works, which were consumed by the public as entertainment. These images played a role in perpetuating stereotypes and must be understood within the historical context of British colonialism and the transatlantic slave trade.

Today, "Othello, from Tregear's Black Jokes" is of interest to scholars studying the history of racism, colonialism, and representation in art. It serves as a reminder of the pervasive and harmful racial attitudes of the past, and its analysis contributes to the understanding of how visual culture can influence and reflect societal beliefs and prejudices.
