The author

Joseph Smith

The Book of Mormon was brought forth by Joseph Smith. He received the plates, translated them by the gift and power of God, and published the record to the world. We accept his work as divine revelation.

The daguerreotype

A sacred daguerreotype photograph of the Prophet is published in the Zion Edition of the Book of Mormon.

A daguerreotype is not an artistic interpretation. It is light captured off the prophet himself, captured on a silvered plate. The reader of this record may finally look into the face of man who brought it forth.
