[Images of the Burger Court and Reagan-Era Senate] 129 hand drawn images of the United States legislature, Supreme Court, and the notable trial of John Hinckley, Jr. Almost all images are dated and copyrighted by the artist at the lower margin. Dimensions of the sketches are mostly 17.5 x 23 inches. One smaller group of images are 17.5 x 14 in. The artist Joan Andrew (b. 1941) sketched these Courtroom and Senate scenes in Prisma colored pencil while in attendance for use by the national news media. Joan Andrew was employed by the Washington Post and CNN as a sketch artist from 1981-1984; illustrating the proceedings in the United States Supreme Court, U.S. Senate, and United States District Court. Andrew is a graduate of the University of Colorado, and an award-winning painter, sculptor, and weaver. Andrew's 129 sketches include: 57 sketches of Supreme Court Justices and advocates. The Justices are depicted in groupings, from two to all nine together, on the bench, hearing arguments between 1981-1983. Justices pictured include: Chief Justice Warren Earl Burger Thurgood Marshall (First African American Justice); Sandra Day O'Connor (First Female Justice); John Paul Stevens; William H.
