This painting is based on the original 1844 Daguerreotype taken of Joseph in Nauvoo. I am convinced that this Daguerreotype (shown below) is the authentic image of the prophet. I present my full research and analysis in a series of videos available on my website and YouTube. The videos can be found here.

Daguerreotype

This painting is based on the original 1844 Daguerreotype taken of Joseph, and a recently-discovered Daguerreotype which I believe to be of Hyrum Smith. I am convinced that these Daguerreotypes (shown below) are the authentic images of the prophet and his brother. I present my full research and analysis in a series of videos available on my website and YouTube. The videos can be found here.

Daguerreotypes

Here I've portrayed Emma Smith, beloved wife of the prophet Joseph Smith posing for a formal portrait in the Mansion House in Nauvoo. She's wearing a simple day dress typical of the period. This is based on several Daguerreotypes taken of her in her later years.
