  • What on earth? This is a very high resolution scan of a highly notable steel-plate engraving, featured on two projects. Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:07, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
•  Support with a question: is there no color version? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 23:09, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
  • Not of the engraving. There is a painting this was based on, but the engraved version was published in a notable edition of Shakespeare, and the painting was actually commissioned to be made specifically to be able to make an engraving of it for that edition. See w:Boydell Shakespeare Gallery. I mean, I can't say for certain no-one ever attempted a hand tinting on any copy of this, but I'm pretty sure that wouldn't have been "official", and I've never seen such done with any of the Boydell engravings.
