I was looking for something juicy, like an explanation of the "extra foot" in the vignette and painting. Didn't happen! I always thought that the original "foot" was a table foot and not a human foot. I think the engraver imagined a human foot and simply embellished it on the engraving. But that begs the question of what about the "foot" under the corner nearest the viewer!

I never did think much of a Jefferson foot on an Adams' foot. What possible reason would cause Jefferson to do that? Did they get caught doing some "footsie?"
