Victorian engraving (1878) reproducing J Lonsdale's picture of King John signing (undre pressure, reluctantly) the Magna Carta and putting on the law the Royal Seal of Approval. His ornate throne has been set up with a great canopy over it and on a raised platform or dais and the clergy and barons surround him.
