Claims Regarding Purported Image
of Joseph Smith Explained
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — A purported
image of Joseph Smith is circulating widely on the Internet. Some
persons have mistakenly claimed that this image belongs to The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and that Church officials have
verified or are verifying its authenticity. These claims are not
true.
This image, taken from a daguerreotype,
belongs to the Community of Christ. On the basis of available evidence
it is not possible to confirm that the image is in fact, of Joseph
Smith. The Church does not have or own this photograph or any image
of Joseph Smith other than several early artists’ portrayals
of him and some early photographs of those artists’ portrayals.
The Church does have the death mask of Joseph Smith.
Any questions about this image should be referred to the Communications
Office of the Community of Christ. (Communicationservices@cofchrist.org)
