I was anticipating seeing the photo of Capa's "Falling Soldier" rather than Picasso's "Guernica." Love Picasso.

Have you ever taken a look at a high res copy of "Washington Crossing the Delaware"? George has on white pants and what looks like some strange codpiece with a red vienna sausage hanging out of it.

Have a look.

1. Goya painting on the Spanish rebellion of 1808 during the Napoleonic Wars

2. Vietnam War

3. French Revolution of 1830 by Delacroix....he's painted himself in the picture.

4. Picasso's Guernica on the bombing of the town by fascist/I wanted you guys to know I'm ignorant airplanes during the Spanish Civil War

5. Soviet capture of Berlin in 1945, World War II

6. Trojan War

7. Bayeux Tapestry, Norman conquest of England, 1066

8. American Revolution

This Trivial Eye is way too high brow (trivial eye brow?), bring back cartoons!

j/k, kinda...

The only one I knew all 3 elements was Guernica, though I recognized most of the others - knew exactly which photo that was from the Viet Nam war, but didn't know any names associated w/ it.

Higher resolution on Wikipedia -- they call it a "watch fob".
