Forest Fulton Judge Legal Leslie Matthew Recorder Robes Vanity Ward
EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Forest Fulton, affectionately known as the 'Red Judge' and 'The Recorder,' is depicted in this cartoon print from the early 1900s. Dressed in the traditional robes and wig of a British judge, Sir Forest's stern expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of authority and wisdom. However, a closer look reveals a mischievous twist: a spyglass hidden in his wig, suggesting a playful side to this esteemed legal figure. The cartoon was published on July 9th, 1903, during the Edwardian era, a time of social and political change in Britain. Sir Forest Fulton, a prominent figure in the legal world, would have been a familiar face to readers of Vanity Fair, where this print was originally published. The cartoonist, Leslie Matthew Ward, skillfully captures the essence of Sir Forest Fulton's public persona, while also adding a touch of whimsy. The profile view of the judge's portrait adds to the intrigue, inviting viewers to ponder the depths of his character. Sir Forest Fulton's career as a judge began in 1885, and he served on the bench until his retirement in 1912. His tenure was marked by his fairness and impartiality, earning him the respect and admiration of his peers and the public. This print is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the life and times of a renowned legal figure during a period of great change in British history. The combination of history, art, and wit make this a captivating addition to any collection.
