The photo on the right is a replica of the Magna Carta. The Magna Carta was a document that when signed, it increased the power of the English Nobles and forced the English monarch to obey the law. It also recognized the legal rights of both the church and the English civillians. King John of England (drawing/painting on the left), who had been interdicted with his country, was cornered by barons and forced to sign this document.
