EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving, titled "Call Night in the Temple" takes us back to a historical moment in London's legal world. Created by Robert Barnes in 1889, this print captures the essence of an important ceremony held at the Temple's hall. In this scene, we witness a procession of gentlemen making their way through the grand gallery towards the lower hall. The air is filled with anticipation as senior benchers lead the way, followed by fledgling barristers eager to prove themselves worthy of joining this esteemed fraternity. As they pass through the gallery, admirers and friends line up on either side, offering congratulatory words and gestures. However, not all interactions are pleasant; some unscrupulous individuals attempt to interrupt or mock these aspiring lawyers. Amidst it all, a senior priores stands tall at his podium delivering an admonition to those present. His words serve as both guidance and warning for these young barristerial hopefuls who eagerly await their turn to be called. The ceremonial atmosphere is further enhanced by various elements scattered throughout the image - from smoking pipes and snuff boxes to waiters serving dinner amidst lively conversation. The presence of Lord Chancellor adds an additional touch of significance to this occasion. Through Barnes' skilled craftsmanship, we are transported into a vibrant moment within London's legal history - where tradition meets ambition and camaraderie intertwines with competition. This engraving serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Call Night in shaping future generations of legal professionals within
