A framed colour print after an original illustration by Lawson Wood titled Nine Pints of the Law. The humorous composition depicts a group of nine British police officers in custodian helmets and dark uniforms, seated upon a low stone wall during a rest break. The officers are shown in various states of relaxation, drinking from blue and white striped mugs, laughing, and conversing. The artwork focuses on the expressive, caricatured facial features and collective camaraderie characteristic of the artist’s style. The print is presented behind glass with an off-white paper mount, housed in a dark wood frame featuring a gilt metal effect inner slip. The lower-left corner of the image bears the printed signature LAWSON / WOOD within a double diagonal border.
