One of a collection of four similar images; the others in this series are: Miss Hargraves as Amy; Madame Vestris as Don Giovani; Miss Bartolozzi as the page in The marriage of Figaro. Formerly part of an album (now lost), each on the same size sheet but different colors and attributed to different artists. Annotations in red ink are by the same hand. Presumably these collages, constructed from the same fabrics, were made by friends and exchanged as gifts. In this image, a full-length image of Edmund Kean as Othello constructed from parts of a print or prints while his costume and hat and their trimming are cut from satin cloth with additional decorated paper trimming and small metal buttons. This image is the only one of the four mounted on a secondary sheet, this one ruled as if from a ledger

Abstract:
Two asses on a bare patch of ground, with the first line of Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' below. The play begins with three witches in a storm deciding when to meet next ('When the hurlyburly's done, / When the battle's lost and won'). That there are only two asses in this parody presumably means that the dedicatee of the print, whose name is withheld, is the third
