 
- Great carving of an angry
attorney, possibly an English Barrister, standing at a small
table, which we fashioned inasmuch as he was standing with both
hands reaching out as if he had them placed on a table, scowling
and glaring up to his left, at the judge or his opponent. He
stands 19" tall, including a small plinth, and 18 1/2"
without. He wears tails and a powdered wig, as did the
English Barristers, and many early lawyers in the U.S. Having
practiced trial work myself for many years, he reminded me of
a couple of irascible lawyers I had faced and I kept this carving
for a good while in my own collection. It remains in very good
condition with a couple areas of wear to the black paint on his
coat and very minor touch ups. (CS-29)
