Art history

A rare chance has arisen to buy art with a legal history

Legal art publisher Hanna Fine Art is selling a highly-collectable fine art print of British artist Stephen McClean’s painting of the Royal Courts of Justice in a limited edition of 950 prints, every one of which will be signed by the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Burnett.

Hanna Fine Art stated: ‘To preserve the value and rarity of the print, it will be available only to members of the legal profession and no further prints will ever be published or signed outside this exclusive edition, creating a strong secondary market for investors.’

The print is expected to raise £50,000 for British legal charities, including the London Legal Support Trust. A print can be reserved for £295 by contacting Maria at maria@hannafineart.co.uk.
