Controversy about the reality of an actual photograph or a photo of a painting of the Prophet Joseph Smith. What is real? I haven’t found out definitive answers but here are two sites that provide “research” for their given belief.

Some say the photo originates from a painting of a daguerreotype from just before his death. Read more at Joseph Smith Painting. Others say it comes from a photograph of the daguerreotype which was commissioned by one of Joseph’s sons. Check out their research here.

Both sites say the daguerreotype, regardless of the subsequent format of this photo (painting or photo), was about the size of postal stamp. Really small! I think this is pretty interesting.

The church’s response to this controversy has been recorded in the Deseret News. To read the article click here. Post comments below on the subject.
