Harding looks hard in his portrait, like somebody from a rocky mountain land, beset by Mongols, Kievan Rus, and hordes of ill wishers

Different than McKinley, being a bit more furious, facing his attacker. This, and hair symbolism got me through. (Garfield's beard is a bit main coon cat, whereas Hayes is just unkempt) Wilson looks like my great grandmother. Luckily for us, her husband looked like Papa Smurf.

Lol that's a bit detached from reality. Regardless of whether you like or chose to recognize them, these men were/are presidents at one point. I don't like Trump but I don't deny the fact that he was president. Like what's the point of that?

If the truth be told, with very few exceptions (Jefferson, Grant, Lincoln, FDR, Teddy Roosevelt... even JFK if his photos weren't

so widely published) and obviously Obama, most of these photos are interchangeable. We may know of their accomplishments and/or scandals before, during or after their terms in office, but there is very little difference in their appearances.

For sure. They're nearly all white men between age 45 and 65, and they're from the white-collar sector of society, so it's really about using context clues to pin down the era of the picture (e.g., photo or painting? Color or black & white? What kind of tie and collar combination? Facial hair?) I recognize probably 32 presidents without any help, but for the others (Garfield, Hayes, Benjamin Harrison, Pierce, Tyler...), I just narrow it down to time period and eliminate the ones I could recognize on my own. Works fairly well. I got 42 right.

Mar 6, 2021
They hardly look identical, but that aside there have only been 5 presidents in US history who sported beards. And every one of them was president sometime between 1861 and 1893. It was the fashion of the day. Both before and after there are none. Only one with so much as a moustache.

For those wondering why there are 45 answers instead of 46 (as of 2023). Grover Cleveland’s non-consecutive terms are counted as two different presidents but obviously we only require one portrait for him.
