He was perhaps the most colourful and influential personality on the legal scene at the time and was instrumental in many respects during the gradual hand-over of power to Ian Smith's government.

Provenance: Hartnoll and Eyre, London, where bought by Sir David Scott circa 1968. The illustrations of John Leech appeared in the popular journal 'Punch'. Leech learnt to draw at a young age, initially making character portraits of people who came to his father's Ludgate Hill coffee shop. By 1843 he was sharing the role of 'Punch' cartoonist with Sir John Tenniel, completing some hundred and twenty illustrations for the magazine by his death in 1864. The character of Mr Briggs was invented by Leech in 1849, and is widely considered to be one of the first serialised 'comic book' characters.
