Description:
Interior view of the fireplace in the magistrates' room at the Victoria Law Courts, Birmingham. The carved stone fireplace is as high as the ceiling and bears the coat of arms of Birmingham. The crest depicts a man's arm holding a hammer, symbolising industry and the supporting figures are a male figure (dressed as a blacksmith) again, representing industry and a female figure (holding a book and painter's palette) representing art. Part of a beautiful strapwork plaster ceiling is just visible, as well as partial wooden panelling along the walls. The stunning court building was designed by Aston Webb & Ingress Bell of London after an open competition in 1886, which was assessed by the architect Alfred Waterhouse. Built by Birmingham firm, John Bowen and Sons, the courts were opened on 21 July 1891 by the Prince and Princess of Wales. The foundation stone had been laid by Queen Victoria on 23 March 1887 in her Golden Jubilee year and a statue of her by Harry Bates surmounts the main entrance. Other figures are by sculptor William Silver Frith to designs by Walter Crane. There is some slight fading to the print.
