You are absolutely correct. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I have made the correction.
Do you know the name of the picture at the top? I am a History teacher and would love a copy for my classroom.
Nick,
Sorry it took me so long to reply. I could not remember where I got the print and I was having a devil of a time finding it online. I have found it on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/President-Poster-Painting-Presidents-America-Standing/dp/B074LV8LZC/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1538599552&sr=8-16&keywords=poster+of+all+presidents) and they call it “The President Poster – Painting of All 50 Presidents of America Standing on the White House Lawn.” They say it is by Gallery America. I hope this helps.
