I was more confused about why Bo Dietl is in the picture.

The Jerry Nadler caracature is accurate though.

I'm more interested in the fact some of you think it's a picture.

since when is "picture" a synonym for "photograph"?

Yeah, I suppose. I think of a picture as a photo but a drawing or a painting as what was posted. I was just about to come back and edit my post.

"paint a picture" is a pretty common expression

Was anyone confused by his OP? He obviously meant photo. He used an inexact word but the meaning was crystal clear (and TBH funny).

You realize we are way closer to the 2040's than the 1940's right?

I don't think my retelling of the following will do justice to the memory this invoked, but when I was in elementary school our (5th grade?) class performed a musical called, “The Good ‘Ol 1890s.” I played 3 different parts and I distinctly remember one line of, “In the good ol 1890s life was really a ball! Horses, horses, clippity clop, a day on the trolley was such an event!" and I hammed it up pretty well. Think John Mulaney if you will.
