Joseph Smith Photograph
Joseph Smith Photograph
News reports in recent days have suggested the photograph may be of LDS Church founder Joseph Smith, but neither the Community of Christ (formerly the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) nor the LDS Church has vouched for the authenticity of the image, which has been in the Community of Christ archives since the mid-1990s. "On the basis of available evidence it is not possible to confirm that the image is, in fact, of Joseph Smith," the LDS Church statement said, adding that speculation and claims about whether church officials "have verified or are verifying its authenticity ... are not true."

I saw the picture and I have my doubts. I mean, technically it fit exactly the bone structure of Joseph Smith but knowing this pic have been circulating since the 60's without any Church claiming the guy on it is actually the Prophet gives me lots of doubts.

This picture doesn't really fit my image of the Prophet (I always picture him a little more masculine). But if it is, it wouldn't bother me. I too doubt the validity since no claims were made by the Church after all of this time.

So Mormons do not actually know what Joseph Smith looks like?

There are many portraits of the prophet and descriptions in journals by early members of the Church.

What did Joseph Smith really look like?

If we pick individual phrases from a lot of different descriptions, we can make a list. Joseph was: a little over six feet tall; considered good looking and dignified; athletic and strong with long legs and large feet. He had: an oval-shaped face; a prominent nose, long and straight; a rather long upper lip; a light complexion; deep-set hazel or blue eyes; thick eyebrows; long eyelashes; fine, straight, light brown or dark blond hair. |

Joseph or not? Display of photo raises interest, doubts
There is no verified photograph known to exist of Joseph Smith, first president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. However, true or not, a special public showing centering on a purported "Joseph Smith photograph" attracted a sizable audience Wednesday. The open house, in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building in downtown Salt Lake City, featured large copies of the photograph. It was sponsored by Eborn Publishing of Ogden, not the LDS Church.

Photo of the Prophet Joseph? Possible, but nothing so far
"What I can tell you is that there isn't one that we know of, and we've looked at all sorts of possibilities. It hasn't appeared yet. But you know, things come up, and we're hopeful that it will." Ref. Source 5
