About the work
This is very likely a drawing for the competition to design the Law Courts of 1866. The eclectic and striking look of the large room is typical of the architect's 'Burgesian Gothic' style. Godwin participated in the design competition with 10 other architects. Axel Herman Haig worked with Burges during this time, assisted him specifically with the Law Courts submission, and his signature is inscribed at the bottom of the design. These designs for the Courts were not chosen.
