The first panel on the left, from Mark Twain is "Joan of Arc," depicts the coronation of Charles VII. Before him stands Joan of Arc placing the crown upon his head, thereby making him King of France. Behind her stand French soldiers and the standard bearer.

Mark Twain, his Hartford home in the background, is the main figure in the next panel. On his right is Will Rogers as the "Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court." Behind him is Merlin the villain.

King Arthur tranquilly combs his beard with his fingers as he gazes at the Connecticut Yankee and his magic rope. Huckleberry Finn is pictured in battered hat, dangling a frog as Tom Sawyer whispers some mischief in his ear.

The next panel portrays Aunt Polly and her medicine bottle. With her is Becky Thatcher. Jim the handyman stands behind them. John Canty, father of the pauper in the "Prince and the Pauper," is seen in the distance. In the panel above the window on the left Tom Canty, dressed as the Prince, pleads desperately with Henry VIII while the Prince, in pauper's guise, looks on.

The next three panels are scenes from "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The first of these shows a Southern gentleman in a slave market. In the next, Eliza, clutching her son, is seen being comforted by a Quakeress who has befriended her. Abraham Lincoln looks silently on from the background. Over the door on the right, Topsy is sitting before Harriet Beecher Stowe. At her left Simon Legree stands with his bloodhounds. Uncle Tom, holding little Eva's hand, is on Mrs. Stowe's right. The Stowe home on Forest Street forms a background for this panel.
