    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.

    I’ve not seen pictures of most of these historical figures but I am happy that I knew who 37 of them were when the names flashed up. Thank you for posting this as it was a fun challenge.

    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.

    Faces don't really test your historical knowledge. If you had a blurb like "discoverer of uranium", "author of the theory of relativity", " first president of the US", etc., then this quiz would have been more useful.
