I got this interesting spot the object illusion in my mailbox yesterday. It is spot the object illusion, like many others, but really good. Not only do you have to spot all the faces in this tree below, you also have to guess who they represent. Since the image is called “National Leaders Tree“, I believe the faces represent leaders of the big countries like America, Russia, England, Yugoslavia etc. I think that the image is somehow old, since the faces I see in the tree’s branches aren’t really familiar. Our older visitors will have more luck guessing those, and probably teach us. However, maybe I was wrong and I got completely wrong impression of the illusion below. Is that Queen of England or Margaret Thatcher, Churchill, Tito, Stalin, or have I gone bananas? How many faces can you spot?

10 faces of great leaders
MOST OF THE FACES THAT I SEE (TEN IN ALL) SEEMS TO BE LEADERS OF INDIA…I SEE INDIRA GANDHI, BHAGAT SINGH, MAHATMA GANDHI, TILAK, NEHRU, AND THE BOTTOM LEFT SIDE SEEMS TO ME TO LOOK LIKE AHMED SHAFIK [FORMER P.M. OF EGYPT]. NOW I KNOW THAT THE EGYPTIAN SEEMS TO GO AGAINST THE GRAIN, NOT BEING FROM INDIA…BUT THAT’S WHO IT LOOKS LIKE TO ME. I COULD NOT RECOGNIZE THE OTHER FOUR. I UNDERSTAND THAT OTHERS SEE ALL 13 FACES BUT I COULD NOT.
There are only 10 faces in this.. even the original artist states that. Anyone saying they see more than 10 is lying. Or creating images in their own mind.. sort of how people see faces in speckled patterns on floors, or water stains on walls.. etc, that are not there.
But, I find most people lie and say they see more than 10 because of that little meme going around listing intellect based on how many faces you see. 11 being on the higher end of smart and 12 + being genius, etc, etc.
Smart people and geniuses feel no need to prove their intellect..
Lmao! The artist has not givin an answer until tomorrow! Just bc u dont see more, everyone else is lying! U gotta look beyond the obvious! There way more than 10.
While the artist may have only intended for 10 faces seeing 11 doesn’t make you wrong or a liar. It’s no different than the person who looks at a cloud and sees a cloud for what it is compare to the person who sees the shape of an animal or entire scene for that matter. Without these unique people with different perceptions we would not have art. I can spot 10 just looking at the well defined images. I don’t believe the artist didn’t intentionally make an 11th because it stands out so distinctly on the left middle section of the tree. Do not focus on the face at the top or bottom of this section, but along the top imagine an old woman whose eye would be where the top mans mustache is and the nose is a bit pointy and a kind but wrinkly face.
wow, im obsessed with this. i circle about 10 a page in paint and number them cus there are hundreds , i am always finding more n more, been at it for 3 days and still going . what an illusion , they are al very obvious faces too if you have a good eye.
so where is the link where the artist says that , lol because it it quite friggin obvious that there are many many more.. guess some people just dont have eyes

This is a drawing from Harper’s Illustrated from the 1880s, and was supposed to represent British leaders from that time..
The artist is unknown, and could not be asked who they represented.
There is a LOT more going on here than just 12 faces. My count is waaaay higher. If you look at the actual bark of the tree, it is made up of some pretty ghoulish faces, gargoyles, goblins, all sorts if creepiness. As far as the date of picture 1880′s I find that hard to
considering( there are faces of Roosevelt Truman Stalin, TheQueen
