Captain Thomas Coram 1796

"Captain Thomas Coram" is a 1796 print by English artist William Nutter. The print depicts Captain Thomas Coram, the founder of the Foundling Hospital in London, seated in a chair with a globe and other nautical objects surrounding him. The print is a fine example of portraiture in the late 18th century and was likely commissioned to honor Coram's legacy. The print's composition and detail emphasize Coram's distinguished character and contributions to society, particularly his charitable work. This print is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
