Mischa Richter's New Yorker cartoon of July 12, 1993 should be understood in the context of the Judicial Conference's cameras in the courtroom pilot program which was underway from 1991 to 1993. The program put cameras in certain courtrooms on a trial basis with the idea of promoting transparency and educating the public. Richter renders his courtroom in simple one-point perspective and he adds shade and reflections with a light wash. The layout of the room is not all that different from one Richter had drawn in 1963 for his panel strip.
We saw here just last week the similar manner in which Richter drew a courtroom thirty years earlier for his syndicated panel strip Strictly Richter.
