I'm pretty sure the top picture in the article is of Christopher Holder (1594 - 1688). According to Ancestry.com he was a Quaker activist in Massachusetts after he left England. Ladybug62 (talk) 21:49, 6 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Are you sure? It's a portrait from Friends House Library on Euston Rd in London clearly marked as George Fox. I recall it from going to LYM with grandparents as a kid. There's a much wider discussion to be had by the Friends Historical Society and the library staff beyond the realm of wiki if you can prove this.
