Categories: Bench & Bar, Buildings

In the heart of London's legal district, Fountain Court, with its terrace, two flights of steps, its sparkling leaping water, its trees, its mellow red-brick buildings, is a haven of tranquility and beauty. Created in 1681 by barristers in the Middle Temple, it was the playground of poet Charles Lamb, and the spot in Dickens's Martin Chuzzlewit where John Westlock declared his love for Ruth Pinch.

The stunning picture of Fountain Court was drawn by Feliks Topolski in 1961 as part of a series called 'Legal London'.

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.
