    This is certainly a hard challenge. The problem is many were either famous before photography, or photography was in it's infancy, so their images are rarely seen.

    About 33 out of 40. This was a good quiz, much more challenging than multiple choice quizes, which I can almost always guess correctly.

    This quiz popped up in my recommended today. I love quizzes. 26 of 40 I knew from the paintings or photographs. The others I had heard most of their names before but just had no idea what they looked like.

    Thanks a lot for this I discover your channel it's great! what is great about your quizz is that these people can be categorized as important people in history you have to know! so it's really helpful! really difficult because of old photographies we don't know their faces but we know their names! but very challenging!

    I honestly find too many Anglophone figure, especially American. Why not Michelangelo? Vivaldi? Suleiman? Robespierre? Voltaire? Or Woytijla.
    I never heard some names of some of these Anglophones people. I guess it's OK for an American or AngloSaxon perspective, but why Victoria and not, you know, Caesar, Charlemagne, Augustus?

  • @paulinacarlisle7389
