EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Westminster Hall on the first day of term in 1797. Engraved by C. Mosley, this satirical poem comes to life through the intricate details and skilled craftsmanship. The image showcases a scene filled with satire, politics, lawyers, justice, gowns, architecture, and the vibrant atmosphere of the 18th century. The grandeur of Westminster Hall is beautifully depicted in this engraving by Hubert Gravelot. Every line etched into the print tells a story - from the bustling crowd to the towering pillars that seem to hold up not only the physical structure but also centuries of legal history. Printed by Robert Laurie and James Whittle, this artwork offers a glimpse into an important moment in time - when a new law term begins. It invites us to imagine ourselves stepping into this historical space where justice was served and legal battles were fought. As we admire this piece from our private collection, it serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with politics and society's issues. Through its clever satire and attention to detail, it sheds light on both the elegance and complexities found within Westminster Hall during those times. Let us cherish this remarkable engraving for what it represents - an artistic interpretation of an iconic location steeped in tradition and significance for generations past.
