EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, created in 1862, captures a significant moment in the history of the British legal system. The image depicts The Lord Chancellor, Richard Bethell, 1st Baron Westbury, receiving the Judges at the Middle Temple in Central London. At the time, the Courts of Law had just reopened after the long vacation, and according to tradition, the Lord Chancellor held a levee to welcome the Judges and leading members of the Bar. In an unexpected move, Lord Westbury chose to receive his guests not at his private residence, but in the grand hall of the Middle Temple, of which he was a Bencher. The Middle Temple Hall, with its impressive wooden beams, timber walls, and ornate decorations, provided a fitting backdrop for this historic occasion. The photograph also features the Lord Mayor elect, Alderman Rose, who was presented to the Lord Chancellor during the levee. The noble and learned men, dressed in their traditional wigs and robes, can be seen mingling and conversing, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie and tradition. This photograph is a testament to the Old Boys Network or Old Boys Club that existed within the legal profession during the 19th century. The Middle Temple, one of the Inns of Court, has a rich history and continues to be an integral part of the legal profession in the UK. The photograph, published in the Illustrated London News, provides a unique insight into the indoor architecture and interior design of the Middle Temple Hall during this period. The image, with its intricate details and meticulous engraving, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs and art related to the legal profession and British history.
