You are offerding on a large original antique print from an 1880s illustrated journal. The quality of the printing from that era was exceptional.

The print depicts an interesting view of Admiralty Court No. 2 in London. The judges and barristers (lawyers) are named. Below the picture is an interesting article on the court.

Admiralty courts, also known as maritime courts, are courts exercising jurisdiction over all maritime contracts, torts, injuries, and offenses. In 1875, the High Court of Admiralty governing England and Wales was absorbed into the new Probate, Divorce and Admiralty (or PDA) Division of the High Court. When the PDA Division was in turn abolished and replaced by the Family Division, the \"probate\" and \"admiralty\" jurisdictions were transferred to, respectively, the Chancery Division and to the new \"Admiralty Court\" (a subset of the Queen\'s Bench Division of the High Court). Strictly speaking, there was no longer an \"Admiralty Court\" as such, but the admiralty jurisdiction allocated by the Senior Courts Act 1981 was (and is) exercised by the Admiralty Judge and other Commercial Court judges authorized to sit in Admiralty cases. When these judges sat, it became convenient to call the sitting the \"Admiralty Court\". Today Admiralty jurisdiction is exercised by the United Kingdom\'s High Court of Justice.

The print is very large (folio size), measuring approximately 11 x 16 inches (28 x 40.5 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a caption below.

The page is in excellent condition for its age. There is text/photos on the back of the print. See scan for an accurate view of the condition.

This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
