 The first known representation of blind Justice is Hans Gieng's 1543 statue on the "Gerechtigkeitsbrunnen" (Fountain of Justice) in Berne.Instead of using the Janus approach, many sculptures simply leave out the blindfold altogether.For example, atop the Old Bailey courthouse in London, a statue of Lady Justice stands without a blindfold; the courthouse brochures explain that this is because Lady Justice was originally not blindfolded, and because her "maidenly form" is supposed to guarantee her impartiality which renders the blindfold redundant.
