Thanks for doing a bunch of legwork for a little project I’m doing for a teacher.

[...] I ran across this great picture on Reddit this evening. I just had to pass it along. It’s really a fitting extension to my article I posted in July. [...]

The portrait of Hamilton used for the 10$ bill is actually one done by John Trumbull. Caroline L. Ormes Ransom is actually the author of a reproduction of the painting. The original hangs in the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C. and is a part of the Andrew Mellon collection.

You know something I couldn’t help but notice was what a bunch of hair some of these dudes had.

Benjamin Franklin, he’s obviously an eccentric.

Andrew Jackson was probably quite a lady’s man I dare say, they’re some wild lockes he’s got there.

Alexander Hamilton looks very debonaire to say the least, whilst George Washington is lookin’ pretty out there too, but quite stately at the same time.

It would be interesting to know if anyone’s analysised the hair styles of ALL the US President’s eh…

Yeah, the Bill Clinton bill (I actually thought about including that and then decided it should be a serious blog post). Thanks for visiting and thanks to everybody for all of the links.
