English: Print from an early anti-Mormon book. Bunker and Bitton in "The Mormon Graphic Image" say that the bespectacled man is meant to be Joseph Smith.
The preceding page in An Authentic History of Remarkable People states: "We prepared for the ceremony, in a dress so peculiar that I have had a drawing made of our general appearance; and we were introduced by Joe Smith, in his half-military garb—a most graphic likeness of whom, thus equipped, we have added to the picture."
