An interesting sign

An interesting sign that reflects the British tradition in some public houses to depict a humorous division of society into various stereotypes, each represented in a separate visual panel. The first panel traditionally portrays the King: "I rule All;" the second, a Parson: "I pray for All;" the third, a Lawyer: "I plead for All;" the fourth, a Soldier: "I fight for All;" and the fifth panel, a Taxpayer or Worker: "I pay/work for All." Hence "The Five Alls."
