Summary

Photograph taken while the document was on display at the Church History Museum in Salt Lake City during the Sacred History: Treasures from the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ exhibition, held soon after the document was acquired by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from the Community of Christ. Photographed through glass; the clear legs of the stand holding the document are visible towards the right side of the image. |
