Image description

King George III contemplates the appointment of Edward Law, Baron of Ellen borough (Lord Chief Justice) as the Lord Chancellor. Justice stands blindfolded on the left. Ellensborough is represented here with two heads, as both judge and politician. His appointment to the Cabinet while holding the office of Lord Chief Justice was controversial, as many people thought it unconstitutional.
