Print depicting Thomas Hamblin as Coriolanus in Act 5, Scene 5 of William Shakespeare's 'Coriolanus'. Engraved by Thomas Phillibrown after a painting by William Momberger, and likely made soon after Hamblin's death in 1853. Hamblin is shown in a Roman costume with a backdrop of Roman monuments, in an oval frame surrounded by acanthus leaf scrolls, objects relating to the play and small portraits of other characters and scenes from 'Coriolanus'.
