Temple pictures

[edit]

This article fails to connect the dots from the blackmail attempt to the publication of James E. Talmage's 1912 book The House of the Lord, which legitimately published, for the first time, a set of photos taken within the Salt Lake Temple. I'll have to look up the scholarly articles that make that connection directly, but I don't have time for that now. Asterisk*Splat 23:09, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well here's three easy ones, lifted from The House of the Lord article:
  • Seely, David R. (2000). "Explaining the Temple to the World: James E. Talmage's Monumental Book, The House of the Lord". FARMS Review. 12 (2): 415–26.
  • Wadsworth, Nelson B. (1996) [1992]. "Epilogue: The Max Florence Affair". Set in Stone, Fixed in Glass: The Mormons, the West, and Their Photographers. Salt Lake City, Utah: Signature Books. ISBN 1-56085-024-8.
  • Walgren, Kent (Fall 1996). "Inside the Salt Lake Temple: Gisbert Bossard's 1911 Photographs" (PDF). Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought. 29: 1–43.
I'll see if I can find any more later. Asterisk*Splat 23:36, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
