The $2 Federal Reserve Note features an engraving of John Trumbull's painting "The Signing of the Declaration of Independence." The original Trumbull painting portrayed 47 people, 42 of whom were signers of the Declaration (there were 56 total). However, because of a limited amount of space on the note, 5 of 47 men in the painting were not included in the engraving.

I've located a wonderful web page which lists each person in the painting.

It should be noted that this legend I'm using regards *48* people. The requoted text above
indicates there were 47 people in the "original". So a new question arises: who's the extra?
If the original was used for the engraving, and not the version with 48 people, then a more
likely conclusion is that one of the 6 listed above, is *not* in the original. More questions....
A brief non-tangent - http://www.americanrevolution.org/trumbio.html
I'm going to look into the causes of death of the other people on Trumbull's painting, to see
if those who were *not* omitted experienced a similar proportion of "anomalous deaths"....
