| | 'Moots' are mock cases argued between trainee and practising barristers in London's Inns of Court. This picture, drawn by Feliks Topolski as part of a series called 'Legal London', records a moot in Gray's Inn Hall in 1961. Gray's Inn Hall was originally built in the reign of Queen Mary and ther first years of Queen Elizabeth 1st, for the sum of �863. Destroyed in the War, it was rebuilt in the 1940s within its surviving walls and in precisely the same proportions and shape such that, according to some who knew it both before and after, it was impossible to tell the difference.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:    | |
