Item Description
This large-scale (48″x32″) print displays the full sweep of American federal judicial history from 1789 to 2010. It combines biographical information on every Supreme Court justice with a visualization of the influence of U.S. presidents and their political parties on the Court over time, and includes vote counts and summaries of landmark cases. We hope that those interested in the Court and judicial history—including lawyers, policymakers, and history buffs—will find this a useful and engaging product.
A Visual History of the Supreme Court represents the culmination of many months of careful research, design, and consultation with experts.
Because we take pride in our work, we are pleased to offer our customers a premium product: the Timeplot is printed on highest-quality 100-lb archival paper and measures a full 48 x 32 inches, much larger than a standard wall poster.
The printing process is certified “green” by the Forest Stewardship Council and uses elemental chlorine-free paper.
Item Special Note
Our first completed public project was a three-part series of large-scale prints visualizing the history of major U.S. political institutions: the American presidency, the U.S. Supreme Court, and the U.S. Senate. With this project, we had several primary goals: to capture the full sweep of the nation’s political history, to give each individual justice and president and senator a place within that history, and to locate landmark judicial decisions and major legislation in context. Timeplots aims to build a library of such ambitious visuals; some of which will be prints, and some that will be online and interactive.
Our second public project added Visual Histories of the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.
We have also prepared a service for custom Timeplots—“Timeplots on Demand”—for institutions and individuals seeking to map their own history or that of a specific issue or subject. For a political software firm, for example, we created a giant Timeplot of notable events in the company’s history, including every new hire, acquisition of key clients, and photos of each employee. We will work closely with you to develop an original work of art celebrating your institution’s mission and journey.
