Print of Sir Henry Irving as Hamlet, after a painting by Edwin Long, R.A., 1880. Looks like it was published in a book, since there is the number 7, bottom-left corner. Irving is shown in historical costume, standing, left hand holding a sword and right hand resting on a chair arm, looking upwards.
