EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense rivalry between two prominent figures of Victorian England's legal world - Mr. Hawkins, Q. C. and Dr. Kenealy, Q. C. , in 1874. Painted by Faustin Betbeder for The London Sketch-book, this illustration showcases Henry Hawkins, 1st Baron Brampton QC and Edward Vaughan Hyde Kenealy QC engaged in a metaphorical tug-of-war. These distinguished barristers found themselves on opposing sides during the infamous Tichborne case that gripped the nation during the 1860s and 1870s. The trial revolved around Thomas Castro (also known as Arthur Orton) claiming to be the missing heir to the Tichborne baronetcy. However, his attempts to convince the courts were futile, leading him to face perjury charges. In this colorful chromolithograph caricature, we witness both men pulling at opposite ends with all their might symbolizing their fierce legal struggle within the courtroom walls. Donning traditional wigs and robes, they embody not only their professional roles but also represent a clash of ideologies. The image serves as a reminder of an era when law cases became sensationalized spectacles that captivated society's attention. It transports us back to a time when courtrooms were battlegrounds for justice where skilled lawyers fought tooth and nail for victory. Faustin Betbeder's artistic portrayal immortalizes these historical figures who played significant roles in shaping English legal history while shedding light on one of its most intriguing trials - The Tichborne case.
