Questing Beast Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 FUNNY! Sorry if this is old news, but it was new to me this morning. http://www.abc4.com/content/news/top%20stories/story/Joseph-Smith-photo-mystery-solved/2PVxA2JxHUmfiIuoXCkz8Q.cspxWhat do all you all think about the renewed flap over "discovered" photographs of JS? I think it is all much ado about nothing much, but it is interesting in an idle gossip sort of way....
teddyaware Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 FUNNY! [media=] Sorry if this is old news, but it was new to me this morning. http://www.abc4.com/...iIuoXCkz8Q.cspxWhat do all you all think about the renewed flap over "discovered" photographs of JS? I think it is all much ado about nothing much, but it is interesting in an idle gossip sort of way....To me the man in the photo looks older than 38, but I could be wrong. Check out the two-tiered drooping 'bags' under the dapper gentleman's eyes.
blackstrap Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Maybe that is how one looks after sleeping( or not ) on cold stone floors for weeks at a time.
nosmelone Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Here's a blog that someone has put together that argues in favor of the photograph. Just looking at myself I think it looks more like a painting than a photograph but I could easily be wrong.http://josephsmithjrphoto.blogspot.com/

I think it is all much ado about nothing much, but it is interesting in an idle gossip sort of way....For what it's worth, here's a news story I wrote last year quoting the a long-time photo archivist with the Church History Department.From the story:His response to the question of whether any photos of the Prophet exist is terse: "The possibility is great — but we don't have any."I'm sure Bill is acquainted with all the recent claims that have surfaced about photos of Joseph Smith supposedly being found. As I said in the article, he is in a position to know. 1
Ahab Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 I don't know what you mean by a "picture" of Joseph Smith, but there are several images which show what he looked like.http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=picture+of+joseph+smith&id=7A0D8084AA06690E9050FC1AB2535AD3C8C6212A&FORM=IQFRBA

A photo is not the same thing as a painting, drawing, engraving or even a death mask.
