Many have speculated whether an actual photo of Joseph Smith Jr. was ever taken. Controversy has brewed over an 8" x 10" image given to the Library of Congress by Joseph Smith III in 1879 of his father. It is an old opinion by some that this picture came from a painting and was not a copy of an actual daguerreotype. An opinion formed before this discovery. In contrast, many experts have said that it was indeed a real photo of a man, with the image being artistically enhanced because of the limited capabilities of the enlargement process.
