Less Pleasing When Possessed - A Glimpse into the Legal World of 19th Century England
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Less pleasing when possest" offers a fascinating glimpse into the legal profession during the late 19th century. Created by Charles J. Staniland, this engraving captures a moment in time that showcases the intricate details and nuances of the era. The image transports us to an office setting, where paperwork is strewn across a large wooden desk. The date on one of the documents reveals it to be March 20,1880 – an important detail that adds historical significance to this artwork. Intriguingly, we see a well-dressed lawyer named Thomas Gray depicted in his professional attire. He wears a traditional wig and dons clothing typical of barristers during that period. This portrayal highlights not only their distinctive fashion but also their dedication to upholding justice within society. The presence of various legal symbols suggests that Gray may be working as either a defense lawyer or magistrate involved in criminal cases. His focused expression hints at his commitment to ensuring fair trials and protecting individual rights within the judicial system. Through this evocative print, we are transported back in time and invited to ponder upon how our perception of possessions can change over time – what may seem desirable initially might become less pleasing once acquired. This remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection allows us to appreciate both its artistic merit and its ability to provide valuable insights into history and
