Panel #20. The famous San Franciscans pictured in this panel are, from left to right, actress Lotta Crabtree, writer Frank Norris, and writer Jack London. On the far right is a scene of ghost-like WPA artists painting a mural, a commentary on the federal art programs which had ceased to exist earlier in the 1040's. The broadside pictured in the upper center relates to the racy 1863 melodrama, Mazeppa, a play in which actress Adah Isaacs Menken appeared seemingly nude (actually in flesh-colored tights) while on horseback.
