EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1800s in London, England. The image showcases an English lawyer meticulously selecting the perfect wig for his appearance in court. This hand-colored woodcut of a 19th-century illustration offers us a glimpse into the fashion and style of that era. The lawyer's attention to detail is evident as he carefully examines each wig, considering its appearance and how it will enhance his presence in the courtroom. Wigs were not only a symbol of prestige but also played a significant role in maintaining tradition and heritage within the legal profession. This snapshot captures more than just fashion; it represents an important aspect of British history. It reminds us of the long-established legal system that has shaped Great Britain over centuries. The justice system itself is depicted through this image, with its emphasis on formality and adherence to traditional practices. As we admire this vintage artwork, we can't help but marvel at how much has changed since then. Today's lawyers no longer wear wigs as part of their professional attire, marking a departure from these historic customs. Nevertheless, this photograph serves as a reminder of our rich past and highlights the evolution of both fashion and law throughout Europe. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by those who have dedicated themselves to upholding justice throughout history.
