Hint: "People and dates with lasting effect."<br />

The initials on the mural correspond to the names of the inventors, most of whose whose inventions depicted:<br />
<br />

*HD = Humphrey Davy - Demonstrated electric lamp to the Royal Society - 1806<br />

<br />
The San Francisco picture shows 3 items above the same starburst(?) pattern: A locomotive (invented by George Stevenson/GS), a telephone (invented by Alexander Graham Bell/AGB); both represented in the mural. The only one not represented is the statue of Poseidon, whose son is TRITON. ((Great! What does that have to do with the puzzle?))<br />
<br />
The accepted answer is: triton<br />

''Next book: [[Tomb]]''</div>Astacvihttps://vanishingpointwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Posters&diff=2638Posters2007-01-16T17:19:48Z<p>Astacvi: </p>

By numbering each of the posters, and determining what appeared, we can derive the following list:<br />
<br />
1. 3 Roses<br />
<br />
2. 1 Moon<br />
<br />
3. 3 Shoes<br />
<br />
4. 5 Clocks<br />
<br />
5. 2 Bells<br />
<br />
6. 5 Handcuffs (I think this should be 4 Shackles - AS)<br />
<br />
7. 1 Owl<br />
<br />
8. 4 Bugles<br />
<br />
9. 2 Doves<br />
<br />
10. 3 Cards<br />
<br />
By finding the corresponding letter of each missing item (ex. 3 Roses, the 3rd letter is "s"), we get the phrase: SMOKE COLOR. The color of smoke used in the clues was white.<br />
The answer is: WHITE<br />
