Lot 185


Ha I Like Not That refers to a scene from Shakespeares Othello. Othello and Iago have arrived to greet Othellos wife, Desdemona, who is speaking with Cassio. Upon seeing Cassio, the traitorous Iago mutters, Ha! I like not that, and hints to Othello that Desdemona and Cassio may be having an affair. In this piece the actor Edwin Booth posed for Iago, and Tommaso Salvini may have posed for Othello. The clay and plaster statue groups made by John Rogers (1829-1904) from 1859 until 1892 were so appealing in late Victorian America that "scarcely a family of reasonable means and taste did not possess one." John Rogers portrayed ordinary, everyday, urban and rural people doing ordinary, everyday things. Through his Rogers Groups he offered an unrivaled transcript of the manners, sports, amusements, social customs, domestic interests, costumes, and even modes of furnishing of the period. John Rogers made statues of Civil War soldiers, family groups, literary topics, theater scenes and historical figures. His statues ranged from eight to forty-six inches tall.
