Six photographs feature Polanyi, with a few images of her holding her published books on John Smith. There is also a signed portrait of Bradford Smith, the English professor and biographer of Captain John Smith of the Virginia colony, William Bradford of the Plymouth colony.

The two book jackets are from Bradford's 1953 book, Captain John Smith, published by J.B. Lippincott, and Polanyi's 1957 translation of Henry Wharton's text, The Life of John Smith.
