This drawing depicts an artist’s rendering of a typical British barrister in the late 19th century. It was published in the first edition (1876-1899) of Nordisk familjebok ("Nordic Family Book"), a Swedish-language encyclopedia.
Barristers are lawyers who try cases in court. Wolfe Tone, the Irish patriot, was a barrister.
