The image, part of the private collection, depicts Cicero, one of Rome's most renowned orators and statesmen, throwing up his brief in a manner befitting a gentleman. This humorous illustration was created for "The Comic History of Rome" by Gilbert Abbott a Beckett around 1850. The digitally cleaned image showcases Leech's artistic talent and attention to detail. In this scene, Cicero is portrayed as an amusing character who throws up his legal document with flair and finesse. The absurdity of the situation adds to the overall comedic effect. It provides viewers with an entertaining glimpse into Roman society during that era.
