Is it grammatically correct to say «ON the picture?»

What is the difference between the above adverbial modifier of place and «IN the picture» if any?

In «Games for Vocabulary Practice» by Felicity O’Dell and Katie Head (Cambridge,2003) I have come across this phrase more than once reading the guidelines for running activities, e.g. «Student B pretends to be the person ON the picture».

The normal thing is «in the picture» as

In the picture we see Edinburgh Castle.

In English a picture is seen as a space; and a landscape, in fact, depicts a space and consequently you say: «In the picture we see a hilly countryside with a river and green meadows with sheep and in the background there is a little village.»

In other languages a picture or painting may be seen not as space, but as an area, and «on the picture» is used in German.

When describing the people or things which appear in a picture, we use «in».

If you were to use the phrase «on the picture», it would most likely be to describe something that was not part of the picture originally, but is now on it.

«Your coffee cup is sitting on the picture!» «I left out the crayons, and my toddler drew on the picture you left. So sorry!»

ETA: In North American English, the example you gave would be ungrammatical. I see the book was published in England, though. Perhaps it is considered an acceptable construction there.

I have never heard the phrase «on the picture» to mean «among the things|persons captured by the camera here». For that meaning, it is always «in the picture».

Who is this person in the picture?

One can say «shown on the picture» to mean «which appears in this image».

Point to the strange growth of foliage, shown on this picture, which you believe to be the gangster’s camouflaged hideout.

One can write an essay about a painting or photograph or movie, and say that one was writing an essay «on the picture», i.e. «about the picture».

As a native speaker, I would assume that this is not strictly a grammatical error (meaning the author believed it was correct), but a typographical one (meaning the author did not notice their mistake). Since you mention seeing it more than once I would suspect a copy/pasting error.

(It may seem odd for this to be missed by the editor, but these things do happen.)

Unit 8 Describing people
the instructions reads

The phrase “. on the picture” as it is used is grammatical in its context. It is short for on the picture card. The author has omitted card from the sentence because it was mentioned in the instructions: a set of picture cards

There are other cases when using on with picture, or image would fit in a teaching environment.

I’ve chosen photo number 1.

As you know I like taking photos. It is my hobby and I can’t miss an opportunity to make photo of an interesting event. Now I want to show you one of my best photos.
I took this photo two months ago when my parents and I went to Moscow to visit my elder brother’s family. Recently they have moved into a new flat and invited us to a house-warming party. This was one of the most exciting moments in my life.
In the foreground of the picture you can see my brother Maxim, his wife Julia and their daughter Anna. You can’t see me because I’m taking the photo. They are sitting on a comfortable white sofa in the living room. They are very happy because at last their dream came true.
In the background of the picture there is a white bookcase with open shelves. I like their decision to furnish the room in white colour because it makes the room look wider. As my brother works as a journalist for a local newspaper you can see a lot of books and magazines on the shelves.
I keep this photo in my album because looking at this photo makes me go back in that time. Moreover, I used this photo for my school project called “My Family Tree”.
I decided to show this photo to you because it carries pleasant memories.
That’s all I wanted to say.

What can YOU see in these pictures? Stunning artwork is confusing people online as no-one can decide on what’s in the paintings

Artist Frank Franklin has people scratching their heads as they try to work out what is going on in these paintings

AN ARTIST has painted a series of stunning optical illusions but what do you see when you look at the clever artwork? Take a look make your decision.

One painting looks as though it’s showing a wintry alpine scene with late night skiers on a downhill run surrounded by the beauty of Northern lights and the enticement of a warm and cosy hut.

The 42-year-old, who names Salvador Dali as his biggest influence, first stumbled across these creations when he saw a picture of himself with dark shadows.

The father-of-two said: «I used Salvador Dali’s paranoid critical technique in which you can look at something for so long that it doesn’t make sense anymore.

«I looked at the picture for so long a whole other set of images jumped out at me.

«I first created a picture of myself years ago, and then when I stumbled across it again I thought I could replicate it with iconic figures.»

The optical illusion-fan works from images with very contrasting features, with a prominence of dark and light, to create his unique images.

He has also created artwork of musician Jimmy Hendrix, artist Salvador Dali, actress Scarlett Johansson, singer songwriter David Bowie, Rick Grimes from the Walking Dead and Hollywood actor Nick Cage.
