    1. In the top left corner box, across the top: Rabbi Dr. Marcus Lehmann, Rabbi Eliezer Lipman Silberman, I don't know the rest. In the middle box on top, the first one I do not know, the second one is Rabbi Eliyahu Guttmacher, the third is Rabbi Jakob Ettlinger, the fourth is Rabbi Avraham Shmuel Binyamin Sofer (the Ksav Sofer). In the second row of the middle top box, the first one is Rabbi Zvi Binyamin Auerbach, the third is Rav Hirsch. In the right corner box, the only one that I immediately recognize is the first one on the second row, which is Rabbi Zacharias Frankel.

    2. In the entire middle row, the only one that is familiar to me is the box on the right side, the bottom row, second person. That is Rabbi Dr. Marcus Jastrow. On the bottom row, while many look familiar, the only ones that I can name are in the bottom right box. The last one on the top row is Moses Mendelson. The second on the bottom row of that box is Rabbi Dr. Jonas Jeiteles, and the next one looks like the Shir (Rabbi Shlomo Yehudah Rapoport).
