Roxie Munro: Covering the Court for WDVM-TV9, Washington, DC

New Yorker cover artist and children's book illustrator Roxie Munro spent five years working as a television courtroom artist in Washington, DC, also covering the House, Senate, and Supreme Court. This came to an end in 1981 when she sold her first cover to The New Yorker and moved to New York City. One of her courtroom pieces, from January 1980, was offered on eBay last year. It was originally broadcast on WDVM-TV9, then an NBC affiliate. This sketch illustrates the Abscam trial. 

Ms. Munro had a correspondence with the seller:
