Death Mask Comparison of the Larsen Daguerreotype with Joseph and Hyrum Smith



 
An infographic titled "Death Mask Comparison: Two historical masks. One photographic interpretation." comparing three faces. The top section displays 3D renderings of Joseph Smith's death mask, an AI-generated 3D interpretation of the Larsen Daguerreotype, and Hyrum Smith's death mask. Below is a "Feature-by-Feature Observations" table analyzing seven physical traits—brow bone, eyes, nose bridge, nose, cheeks/skin, mouth, and chin—across all three faces, noting specific differences such as Joseph's "Moderately pronounced" brow bone versus the "Very pronounced" brow bone on both the Larsen interpretation and Hyrum's mask.

An infographic regarding the documentary Brother Joseph Again titled "Look at the Bridge of the Nose." It stacks three images for comparison: Hyrum's death mask on top, the Larsen Daguerreotype in the middle, and Joseph's death mask on the bottom. Below the images, text outlines two key observations: "01 Bridge Shape," noting that the man in the middle (Larsen) has a V-shaped bridge rather than the 90-degree angled bridge seen on Joseph; and "02 Eye-to-Nose Ratio," explaining that the ratios differ because Joseph had large, close-set eyes.
