TNT1 Posted June 17, 2012 Share In George Washington's days, there were no cameras.One's image was either sculpted or painted. Some paintings ofGeorge Washington showed him standing behind a desk withone arm behind his back while others showed both legs andboth arms. Prices charged by painters were not based on howmany people were to be painted, but by how many limbs wereto be painted. Arms and legs are "limbs,"therefore painting them would cost the buyer more. Hence the_expression, "Okay, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg." MtbBarbie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
