I was going to ask if we are going to start using face recognition software to solve for the author, but then I discovered that there are other interweb sources who are saying the source of the quote is actually:

[1_Rain_Drop]

who is this guy?

Thank you for bringing this up.

I usually research these quotes before posting, in this case because, YOU ARE RIGHT, Lincoln among others were also listed as authors, but it turns out that Lincoln never said this in writing or spoken. (see the link below).

In fact, there is a good argument that the quote should be attributed to our old friend “Anonymous” but in the end, I chose the person pictured, since he was the first person it’s attributed to.

If anyone else is interested, after you’ve solved the CG, please see:

But now I know who famously said.”Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.”
