Description: | A platinum print photograph entitled 'Shylock', taken by John Furley Lewis, c. 1910. Shylock is a Jewish moneylender in Shakespeare's 'The Merchant of Venice' who lends money to his Christian rival Antonio, with the security of a pound of Antonio's flesh. Antonio defaults on the loan and Shylock demands his pound of flesh. Shylock is pictured here with his knife, ready to cut the flesh of Antonio. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | photograph platinum print | Temporal: | c. 1910 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Lewis, John Furley (1867-1939) | Identifier: | 2003-5001/2/20734 | Go to resource |
