this image is the original artwork for the engraving published in the illustrated london news for 23 july 1904. Restoration notes: stuck to obvious scratches, dust, and fingerprint damage. The damage to the robe of the man on the far left of the central scene (almost certainly polonius) is probably the most extensive restoration, as edges attract fingers, and some of the paint had rubbed off. Date: 1904 (published 23 July).
