David Rose (American 1911-2006 ) Courtroom Illustration / drawing in pen, marker and colored pencil, The Dale Motor Car Case and trial (PEOPLE v. CARMICHAEL) Signed and dated 1977. Courtroom scene, featuring Judge Harold J. Ackerman, Elizabeth Carmichael and attorneys.Case: Elizabeth Carmichael promised to revolutionize the automotive industry with a fuel-efficient car called the Dale. It was described as a practically damage-proof automobile which would get upwards of 70 miles per gallon of gasoline and obtain speeds up to 85 mph. In 1974 Carmichael approached Dale Clifft with a plan to mass manufacture a consumer friendly, 3-wheeled vehicle, potentially to earn $3 million in royalties. The vehicle was never manufactured. Those who'd paid to reserve vehicles or start dealerships found they'd been defrauded. While facing fraud charges, Carmichael was publicly revealed to be a transgender woman, formally known as Jerry Dean Michael. Carmichael was found guilty on 26 counts. From 1973 to 1996, Rose was a courtroom artist who covered national and international trials. He worked as an art director for MGM and NBC and was the first art director at Los Angeles's KCET (public television). He documented Nazi general Klaus Barbie for the Magnes Museum. He was honored as well by the Art Directors Guild. For his work covering the Pentagon Papers, he was nominated for an Emmy Award. He was the only artist-journalist who covered that story, particularly Daniel Ellsberg's prosecution, which was his first courtroom work.
