66 | +* "Boston is at about 42N, 71W. The 42 is obvious on her left cuff, and the top figure of her "train" (with the triangles, just below her right elbow) is a pretty good 71 when you rotate the book 90 degrees" [credit: Pine_Tree q4t](http://quest4treasure.co.uk/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=774&start=30#p18193) |
|
67 | +* Lots of globes in the picture, which may be a reference to the Boston Globe. A newspaper may be a pretty strong reference point for the authors/illustrators who wrote the book (confirmed by JJP).

68 | +* The Italian theme was identified as fitting for Boston, which has the oldest Italian Section in the country (the North End). |
