| | Middle Temple Hall is the oldest surviving Hall used for its original purpose in the four Inns of Court. Built in the early years of Queen Elizabeth 1, it was started in 1562 and was completed in about ten years.This picture was drawn by Feliks Topolski in 1961 as part of a series called 'Legal London'. It depicts newly-qualified barristers being 'called' to the Bar.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:    | |
