EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and historical significance of three statues that preside over the Court of Kings Bench in Westminster Hall. Standing tall against the backdrop of this iconic hall, these sculptures are a testament to British heritage and the enduring legacy of English law. Dating back to 1784, these etchings by an anonymous 18th-century English artist showcase intricate details and evoke a sense of medieval Gothic artistry. With a length of 36 cm, they offer viewers a glimpse into the past, transporting them to a time when Richard II ruled England. The statues themselves exude regality and power, symbolizing the authority vested in this court. As guardians of justice, they serve as silent witnesses to countless legal proceedings that have taken place within these hallowed walls. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these sculptures hold immense historical value. They remind us that Westminster Hall is not just any ordinary building; it is part of the Palace of Westminster - home to Parliament itself. These statues stand as reminders that even amidst political changes and societal shifts, justice remains at the heart of governance. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' expertise in capturing fine art prints like this one from London Metropolitan Archives' collection, we can now appreciate and admire these magnificent works from afar. This print serves as both an educational tool for history enthusiasts and an exquisite piece for admirers of British culture alike.
