"The Rival Chancellors" is a satirical lithograph by John Doyle, created in 1834. The artwork depicts two prominent figures, Lord Chancellor Lyndhurst and Lord Chancellor Brougham, engaged in a humorous scene at a dining table. Doyle's sharp wit is evident as he portrays the two chancellors, known for their political rivalry, in a light-hearted and exaggerated manner. This piece is a fine example of political satire, capturing the public's perception of the political figures of the time through humor and exaggeration.
