Yes, I did some googling for it. All I could find were several sites selling that black & white version. I’m looking for a full color version. I’m surprised it is this hard to find.

Did you Google it? A quick look turned up this: http://www.posterrevolution.com/gallery/item.cfm?ID=625946&class=1001&gclid=CPTax5Why60CFcfe4AodsE1QiA

I checked the Kansas State Historical Society, but they are “out of stock.” I may have to commission a painted version, but even a print would be cool. I love that mural. Very powerful.

In context, I think it is beginning and end as in “I am the beginning and the end” – that is, God, as Ryan said.

That’s what I think, too. However, I can’t figure out why the Alpha is sideways.

The symbol for Alpha is on the other page. Alpha and Omega, meaning God. The book that John Brown is holding is the Bible.

I have no idea.
