A round plastic bread-raising bucket rests on an outdoor table on a deck. A large glob of rising dough is visible. Summer sunshine saturates the deciduous trees beyond and a violet and white lobelia shares the space. To prevent predation of the dough by birds or squirrels, a heavy bookend modeled after one of the New York Public Library lions, Patience and Fortitude, sits atop the bucket.

Black and white portrait of John Snow, "leader in the development of anaesthesia and medical hygiene. He is considered one of the founders of modern epidemiology and early germ theory, in part because of his work in tracing the source of a cholera outbreak in London's Soho, which he identified as a particular public water pump. Snow's findings inspired fundamental changes in the water and waste systems of London, which led to similar changes in other cities, and a significant improvement in general public health around the world."

Margaret Sanger, "American birth control activist, sex educator, writer, and nurse. She opened the first birth control clinic in the United States, founded Planned Parenthood, and was instrumental in the development of the first birth control pill. Sanger is regarded as a founder and leader of the U.S. birth control movement."
