This scene in the play recreates the famous picture Peary took at the Pole. This black and white image was hand colored by an artist. It was printed in the 1910 edition of Peary's The North Pole.

Matthew Henson, center, is flanked with the four Eskimos (Inuits) team members. They hold special flags – the Navy League, the Red Cross, the flag of the D.A.R. and his Bowdoin fraternity flag, Delta Kappa Epsilon and the American flag Peary had carried on every expedition.
