EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a snapshot of the Central Hall of the Royal Courts of Justice in London during the late 19th century, specifically on the date of 9 December 1882. The image showcases the grandeur and bustling activity of the Central Hall, which served as the heart of the English legal system during that era. The Central Hall is adorned with intricate architectural details, including ornate columns, high ceilings, and large windows that bathe the interior in natural light. The scene is filled with a diverse group of individuals, including barristers, who are deep in conversation with each other and members of the public. Their animated discussions suggest the importance of the legal proceedings that were taking place within the hall. The Central Hall of the Royal Courts of Justice was designed by architects George Edmund Street and William Wilkins and was officially opened in 1882. It housed the King's Bench Division, the Queen's Bench Division, and the Common Pleas Division, which heard both civil and criminal cases. The building was a symbol of the British legal system's commitment to justice and fairness, and the Central Hall served as a hub for legal professionals and the public alike. This engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a glimpse into the daily life of the Royal Courts of Justice during the late Victorian era. It is a reminder of the rich history and tradition of the English legal system and the importance of the Central Hall in shaping it.
