- Abstract
-
"Two barristers in wig and gown fight furiously with umbrellas. The aggressor (right), with outstretched left fist, rushes at his enemy with a closed umbrella which terminates in a long spike. The other, Adolphus, with legs wide astride, uses an open umbrella; his brief-bag swings from his arm. From a door on the right a constable rushes forward, holding out his crowned staff. The lower part of a staircase is on the left. Above the combatants: 'Full often we're Told & true it may be That two of a Trade can never agree'."--British Museum online catalogue
