EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and comical 19th-century music cover titled "His Lordship Winked at the Counsel, or The Breach of Promise" we are transported to a whimsical courtroom scene. Created by Alfred Concanen, this colour lithograph captures the essence of legal proceedings with a touch of humor. The image showcases an eccentric barrister who appears to be defending his client in a breach of promise case. His Lordship, dressed in traditional judicial attire, is depicted winking mischievously at the counsel as if sharing a secret joke. The lawyer's animated facial expression adds an element of levity to what would typically be considered a serious affair. Surrounded by other characters such as magistrates and defense lawyers, the composition exudes historical charm while also providing insight into the legal practices of that era. With its intricate details and vivid colors, this print offers viewers a glimpse into both the past and the world of comic illustration. This artwork not only highlights Concanen's artistic talent but also serves as a reminder that even within formal settings like courtrooms, moments of lightheartedness can exist. It reminds us that laughter has always been present throughout history – even during legal disputes – offering respite from seriousness and tension. Overall, "His Lordship Winked at the Counsel" is an intriguing piece that combines elements from law, comics, history, and music covers to create an engaging visual narrative worthy of admiration for its artistic merit and historical significance.
