«Cornwell received $100,000 for his work, but a subsequent dispute caused him to paint several objectionable images into the mural, including a man urinating on Queen Elizabeth I and a naked Indian with his back to the viewer. The dispute was resolved, and Cornwell removed some, but not all, of these images, and portions of the mural remained covered for over 40 years, until a renovation project in the Warwick gave the murals greater focus and prominence.» (source: Navarro)
