I love the face from the Stuart portrait imposed on a little kid. Plus the stylized trees and lawn - and Parson Weems himself proudly displaying his invention (which he made up all by himself!)

Wood had a wicked sense of humor. Here's another, also featuring The Father of His Country:

"Daughters of Revolution"

The lady in the back looks EXACTLY like my paternal grandmother. She was a good sort, though.
