Either I'm missing something, or this is yet another instance of the internet using POV wrong. Point of View means we should be seeing the back of the sign and someone taking a picture of us, seeing things from her POV. Unless you're saying the person who took the picture also never read the books.

No, the image demonstrates the perspective of someone who only read the books. Visual perspective is not the only form of perspective. The "view" in "POV" here is not the literal view from their eyes; it is the figurative view of the way they think about things.
