Causing a stir on Reddit and in the news.

Of personal interest of me, as I've always wondered about the accuracy of of our modern depictions of historical figures.

Benjamin Franklin looks like he's related to Steve Bannon

That George Washington photo above which I didn’t see when I posted before: My goodness, looks like he’s related to Roger Stone!  Looks like our Founding Fathers were a bunch of scoundrels 😱!

For me, the antique style of most historical portraits engenders a sense of nearly automatic respect/reverence that decreases precipitously when you see them as just average guys in these modernized depictions.....
