I tend not to worry too much about recognizing photos, which is what the article was about. I am more concerned about recognizing the person for who they were and what they did. I could not pick out a photo of WIlliam Pitt but I know what he did.
It is a bit different for the US because many of our past leaders are on money. Everyone knows what Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Jackson or Lincoln look like. I would probably also pick out John Adams but if someone showed me a picture of James Madison (who wrote the Constitution after all) I probably could not. I did find the comments to the Mail article quite funny.
