Lot Essay

The former depicts the North front of Westminster Hall with its cluster of taverns and coffee houses. To the left of the entrance is the Exchange Coffee House, and to the right Oliver's Coffee House. The Law Courts were held in Westminster Hall until 1874 and the coffee houses and taverns were heavily patronised by lawyers meeting their clients.
