This print of William Frith's 'The Plea' is produced from the original Victorian plate and then individually handcoloured. The scene depicts Court 1 of the Old Bailey, where a major trial is in progress. Every fine detail is shown on the large-scale 22" x 18" print. A spectacular lithograph.

Carbolic Smoke Ball supplies this print in a tube, since most clients prefer to choose a mount and frame which suits their offices.

William Powell Frith, the son of domestic servants, was born in Alfield in 1819. He attended the Henry Sass Academy in London, and in 1853 was appointed a member of the Royal Academ. His paintings were very popular and Frith sold a large number of engravings of these works. In 1875 his painting Before Dinner in Boswell's Lodgings (1868) was sold for £4,567 - at the time, the highest salesroom price paid for the work of a living artist. William Powell Frith died in 1909.
