This is a strange picture by any account. See how many glaring errors you can pick out.

I sincerely doubt that there was a picture of Lincoln in the McLean house where the surrender was signed.

I also doubt that Grant would have been in any sort of dress uniform like that. His normal uniform was a normal infantryman's jacket, pretty much unadorned ...

You mean like the portrait of Lincoln in a Virginian's parlor? That kind of glaring error?

Second glaring error. A quill pen? Really?

I believe he was left-handed but someone decided to sign that document using his right hand. :-)
