Text column no. 4 is flanked by two illustrative panels on either side (nos. 6 and 7 on the right and nos. 8 and 9 on the left). Illustrations nos. 6-9 are labeled in Hebrew.

Illustration no. 6 is captioned וימלא המן חמה ("Haman full of wrath", Es. 3:5). It shows the bearded Haman standing in the center of the frame, with Mordecai on the right. While other people are bowing to Haman, Mordecai is standing straight and not even looking at him. 

Illustration no. 7 is inscribed בחדש הראשון... הפיל פור ("In the first month... he cast Pur [that is the lot]", Es. 3:7). The scene shows Haman in the center, watching a man cast a trio of dice on the table. Other people in the illustration, including a plump woman (possibly is Haman's wife, Zeresh) are looking at Haman and the lottery. The figure of the woman is an example of irony and a specific sense of humor characteristic for Geismar's drawings.

Illustration no. 8 is inscribed ויזעק זעקה גדולה ומרה ("and [Mordecai] cried with a loud and a bitter cry", Es. 4:1). This scene shows Mordecai in a chequered sackcloth robe, with a scroll in his pocket (likely representing the decree against Jews). He is crying, with both hands lifted up to the sky in anguish. Children behind him cover their ears with their hands. In the background, two Assyrian Lamassu (human-headed winged bulls) statues flank the city gate.

Illustration no. 9 is not captioned. It shows four Jewish men and two women in chequered robes (sackcloth) who are kneeling, crying, and praying (Es. 4:3).
