Satires on the law: In "A Flat Between Two Sharps" a bemused client is shown scratching his head standing between a solicitor and a barrister in front of Westminster Hall; the solicitor, on the left, taps his nose knowingly and grins towards the viewer. In "A Sharp between two flats" a grinning lawyer is seen about to eat an oyster between two discomfitted litigants, offering each of them one half of the shell.
