Hand-Colored Theater Etching. An original mid-nineteenth-century hand-colored theatrical etching depicting Thomas A. Hamblin as Coriolanus in Coriolanus. Such actor-in-character images were popular theatrical keepsakes and now appeal to collectors of historic drama and costume. Warrior in dark breastplate, red cloak and feathered helmet stands before a broad classical cityscape. The composition is presented on a cream paper sheet measuring 10 x 12 inches overall; image dimensions have not been provided. Handwritten identification reads Thos. A. Hamblin as Coriolanus. Visible condition: Light to moderate support toning, small spots and minor edge wear. Review all supplied photographs for paper margins, lettering and details. This is a period printed etching with hand-applied color rather than a one-of-a-kind painted portrait; individual impressions can vary in coloring.
