The deerstalker hat peeking out is another reference to Arthur Conan Doyle via Sherlock Holmes.

The woman in the bottom corner of Doyle's lecture is inspired by a (possibly dirty?) sketch by one of my great-relatives (either Agnes or Ruth Collver according to the inscription) in their Canadian history schoolbook from the 1920s. I guess doodling in class runs in the family.
