| | The old Hall of Lincoln's Inn has seen more and survived more than any of th eother Halls of the Inns. It was built in the fifteenth century and it not only survived the perils of two world wars in which bombs fell quite close to it. It also survived and eventually recovered from an almost fatal attack of up-to-date architectural good taste, as understood by the eighteenth century benchers. This drawing is by Royal Academician, Feliks Topolski who drew it in 1961 as part of a series called 'Legal London'. It depicts a lecture taking place in the Old Hall, the same room in which Charles II dined with his brother, the Duke of York.Master alike of giant murals and 'small scribbles', as he called them, Toploski was described by Bernard Shaw as "an astonishing draughtsman." His pictures are highly collectible and remain as vivid and relevant today as when they were drawn nearly a half-century ago.You can see other prints in the Legal London series by typing the word 'Topolski' in the Search box of this site.The 'Legal London' book, which contains all the Topolski prints, has long been out of print, but Carbolic Smoke Ball occasionally comes across copies in dealer catalogues, which it offers for sale to keen Topolski fans. | | Price: £15.33 | | In stock, usually dispatched within 24 hours | | Show price in:    | |
