Description: | Three eminent lawyers are caricatured in this picture. Sir Vicary Gibbs, Attorney General, is on the left. In the centre is Lord Ellenborough, who was one of the three Chief Justices of the time. On the right is Sir Alexander Thomson, Chief Baron of the Exchequer. The punning title implies that they are stupid woodenheads, as well as being employed to argue cases as lawyers. The London artist Thomas Rowlandson was famous for his watercolours humorously caricaturing politicians, lawyers, gamblers and drinkers. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1805 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Thomas Rowlandson | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
