I did some additional research on this photo of John Quincy Adams. It was taken in 1843 at his home in Massachusetts.

Hee! The mistakes in spelling were obvious, but after I could only find two, I realized what a trick you’d played on us. Very clever.

I can’t take credit for the brain teaser. It comes from a series of questions left in some of my few teaching materials still available. I agree with its cleverness.
