According to custom, the Lord Chancellor [Richard Bethell] held a levee, which was attended by the Judges and the leading members of the Bar; but, instead of following the example of his predecessors and receiving them at his private residence, he met them in the hall of the Middle Temple, of which his Lordship is a Bencher. The Lord Mayor elect (Alderman Rose) was also presented to him. From the Middle Temple Hall the noble and learned Lord, together with his guests, went in procession to Westminster Hall to reopen the courts'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, created in 1862, captures a significant moment in the history of the British legal system. The image depicts The Lord Chancellor, Richard Bethell, 1st Baron Westbury, receiving the Judges at the Middle Temple in Central London. At the time, the Courts of Law had just reopened after the long vacation, and according to tradition, the Lord Chancellor held a levee to welcome the Judges and leading members of the Bar. In an unexpected move, Lord Westbury chose to receive his guests not at his private residence, but in the grand hall of the Middle Temple, of which he was a Bencher. The Middle Temple Hall, with its impressive wooden beams, timber walls, and ornate decorations, provided a fitting backdrop for this historic occasion. The photograph also features the Lord Mayor elect, Alderman Rose, who was presented to the Lord Chancellor during the levee. The noble and learned men, dressed in their traditional wigs and robes, can be seen mingling and conversing, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie and tradition. This photograph is a testament to the Old Boys Network or Old Boys Club that existed within the legal profession during the 19th century. The Middle Temple, one of the Inns of Court, has a rich history and continues to be an integral part of the legal profession in the UK. The photograph, published in the Illustrated London News, provides a unique insight into the indoor architecture and interior design of the Middle Temple Hall during this period. The image, with its intricate details and meticulous engraving, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs and art related to the legal profession and British history.
