The pages for Derham and Williams have a drawing of the man and a drawing of him at work, Derham as a doctor and Williams as a surgeon. These two pages also have a section entitled, "Test Yourself" which consists of five questions based on the accompanying text. The documents are affixed to the board with red tape and the board is edged with black tape. The front of the board is covered in clear plastic which is taped at the back.
