EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print, titled "France (1610). Lawyers and Attorneys. Xylography," offers a fascinating glimpse into the legal profession in France during the early 17th century. The image, created through the technique of xylography, depicts a lively scene of lawyers and attorneys in session at the Palace of Justice in Paris. The print, which is part of the Asian Art Information Service Archive, showcases the elaborate costumes and accessories of the legal professionals, reflecting their social status and importance in French society at the time. The intricate details of the woodblock print, from the folds of their robes to the quills and inkwells on their desks, add to the authenticity and historical significance of the image. The Palace of Justice, located in the heart of Paris, was the primary venue for legal proceedings during the early modern period. The building, which was constructed in the late 16th century, housed the Parlement de Paris, the highest court in the kingdom. The court heard cases involving the king, the nobility, and the common people, making it a crucial institution in the administration of justice in France. The lawyers and attorneys in the print are shown engaged in intense debate, likely discussing the merits of a case or debating legal precedents. The scene underscores the importance of legal education and the role of the legal profession in upholding the rule of law and protecting the rights of individuals in France during this period. Overall, this print provides a valuable window into the legal system and the daily life of the legal profession in France during the early 17th century. Its historical significance, combined with the intricacy and beauty of the xylography technique, make it a valuable addition to any collection of historical prints or art.
