header.php is a file, not a folder.
Copy header.php from the parent into the child theme, than paste the content into gist.github.com and paste a link to that here so we can take a look.

I asked you to do it in gist, NOT to paste the code here, so I could reference link numbers.
remove the stuff that starts with <a class. Leave the <img line. Remove the closing </a>.
Note that you degrade the user experience doing this. People expect the header logo to be a link to the home page.
That did the trick! I thank you for the advice. The header image is only shown on the Homepage because I could not figure out how to display a smaller logo on the other pages. Instead I placed a Home button on the menu. I will consider your advice and display the logo for people to use as a home page link. Thank you for your time and help, it is greatly appreciated.
