Lucas Farguson sent me this vintage puzzle card, and asked if I can see the 3 hidden lads in it? First I thought it was just a trick, and that the girls are actually boys wearing a disguise, but after looking at this card a little longer, I finally managed to see all of the three cowards hiding. I mean, I don’t want to judge anyone, as I would probably be hiding from big-headed girl like this as well. So can you spot them as well? If you’re asking yourself where did this card came from, it is a valued collectors item, created in 1800 by Liebig. I have no more info on it, except that there are people out there making great deal of money selling vintage cards like this one.

One boy is in the tree on top of the rightmost lady and two boys on the foot of the windmill.
Was tricky initially, but found all three.
One face in the tree on the left and two faces in the trees on the right under the windmill.
Nice, very well hidden.
Keep up the good work, love this site.
I saw them right away.
Though I’m not sure if the last one is actually one of the ‘lads’ or if it is just my imagination….
o wow i must have a good eye i saw all three right off the bat
cool
i see them

i let u guy figure it out
Under the windmill and in the tree.
I think I see them in the trees.
When you said cowards, I thought they were gonna be hiding under the bridge or something. xD
Bushes….Theres ur hint.
It’s hard to spot them but they are really there… I think there are more than three though..
Two boys under the windmill in the bushes and one in the tree in front of the houses.
I like the pic, is it a postcard?
two in the trees to the right and one in the tree next to the houses
Found them…. Easily! They are hidden in the…. (Won’t spoil this one….) Hey, first comment ever and first this time!!! Yeee
yep:) they’re there
One in the three
Two down the grinder
Yes, get them!
I can see two of them and a foot.
At first I thought they were somewhere in the girls. Like when you have to see the old hag in the beautiful young lady.
They’re invisible!
there are more than 3…and a few manly images also…
I can see all of the 3 faces…:)
I can see all the faces :)
The guys are easy.
1) left tree among the foliage on the right half of the tree
2 and 3) right side of the picture just down and right of the windmill. hiding amongst the foliage just like #1.
i havent yet been able to locate the “big girl”
Two on the right side bushes, one in up the tree on the left.
Not hard…
I’m seeing at least two. And I see two other figures that could be boys. But one kinda looks more like a skull than a boy D:
Found them!
Took me a while, but I spotted them! Maybe they are secretly watching the 3 damsels, while enjoying the wind?
Awesome website by the way!
Two in the bushes and one in the tree! These vintage examples are some of my favorites.
I swear i can see a faint outline of a clog on the bridge post on the right…
i see 4. 3 at the bushes beneath the windmill and 1 on the tree in front of the house.
Ich weiß nicht, wo die drei Knaben versteckt sein können…
Okay, sorry, in English ;)
But I like it, that there’s actually some German on the picture.
That’s a tough one, I needed just some time to find them!
it took me three time to see the boys in this picture….. but i see them now!!
in the trees!
NICE! It took me awhile to find them but then BOOM right infront of me! Thanks for this one vurdlak!
Very nice illusion.
One of the boys is in the tree and the other two boys are in the forest at the mill. You see only the faces of three young men.
Nice, There is one in the tree and two in the bushes (under the windmill). greeting from Holland!
In the bushes near the wind mill
ooooooooo they are hidden in the ….. (think green to find them!!!) it was really easy i just saw it straight away
is there one in the tree and two on the right next to the windmill?
I found them, one on tree, one on window and one on bridge. Am i Right?? :-)
you can see the three faces in the bushes below the windmill by the road
also a (wooden)shoe and a leg appears on the bridge.
in the trees!
I see two “knaben” on the right side in the bushes and the third one on the left in the tree.. btw am i first?
whoohoo
greets from The Netherlands
Dennis
The text on the bottom of this picture is German, but the picture is a typical Dutch scene. I know this for sure, since I am from the Netherlands!
I can only see two boys, there is still one missing in my opinion!
one boy in the tree on the left, just right of the middel, facing right. + Two heads in the bushes underneath the mill, facing left.
Are there more?
I got 3 of them
one in the tree and other two in the shrubs
I dont know…
the boys are that 3 suposed girls…they are sweet transvestite.
Trraaaaaansexualllll transilllvaniaaaaaa (rocky horror show)
Not that hard, if you look into it.
I do see three. Though looking at this card I feel there should have been more… clouds, roofing, skirts, bricks all could have hidden another boy. Thanks for the vintage look. My favorite thing about visiting your page is the variety in the illusions.
I found the 3 boys (faces)! Two of them are on the right side of the card (into the green) and the 3rd guy is on the left *on the right side of the tree).
I see only two boys, one in the three and one in the bushes below the windmill! Nice site btw!!!
