If RLDS wanted to promote a photo as being of Joe Smith, they should have chosen a photo of a guy with cheekbones, as portrayed in the drawing of Smith.

And if it is, it should rate a “that’s nice” comment.

We've all created an image of Joseph Smith in our minds. Oh. My.

The picture survives, but JS is probably burning right now.

That's not the Daguerreotype that was provided by the Church archives. This is. You had the link right, but not the image. What you sent looks like an artists rendition.
The image at the top of this thread is likely a son or a brother. The plate is was created on is dated after the death of Joseph Smith.

Did you post a truer picture? Those images were the ones my search brought up that didn’t seem to be paintings.

It came right off the link you sent, from ABC news. I thought it was odd that the link you provided came with a different pic than the one you posted.

Definitely images of Joseph Smith previously show a more diamond chinned man than in the photograph. I would look at photos of his sons and compare them side by side. The man in the picture is in his early 30s, tops...

Was screwing the wives of his associates merely a cover for being gay? If I was a member of the Mormon church, I’d choose a different depiction.
To: Alex Murphy
Is that a bottle of Guinness in his hands?
To: rabidralph
Sure looks like a bottle of something, doesn’t it?

Well, I heard he was supposed to have had very arresting eyes—no, wait, that was Muhammad.

That is not any sort of photographic likeness.
