2 Artifacts of the Gospel
In his historic bicentennial proclamation to the world on April 5, 2020, President
Russell M. Nelson proclaimed:
“Two hundred years have now elapsed since this Restoration was initiated by
God the Father and His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.”
Ever since then - “Millions throughout the world have embraced a
knowledge of these prophesied events.”
It is our goal to share with you some of the physical artifacts, books, photos, and
documents that have not only survived since the beginning of the Restoration
of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but have also brought us great joy and assisted in
strengthening our testimony of the Savior Jesus Christ.
We hope you enjoy our Winter 2020 catalogue.

Heinrich Hofman’s “Jesus in The Temple”
4. Heinrich Hofman “Jesus in the Temple”
[$1,500]
1880’s Antique Albumen Print of Heinrich Hofman’s “Jesus in The Temple” - Autographed by
Heinrich Hofman (10”x 7.5”)
Hofman has captivated Christian audiences all over the world with his paintings of the scenes
in the life of Jesus Christ. Adding his personal touch and autograph to this piece brings a more
intimate meaning to a religious art collector.
Taken from the website of Heinrich Hofman:
“Few scenes from the youth of Christ are so well known or beloved as Hofmann’s rendition of
Luke 2: 46-47, Jesus in the Temple. Even Hofmann’s harshest critic judged this painting, “the
most pleasing among the many representations of the subject.” Consequently, this painting’s
continued popularity has led to a vast number of reproductions.
As with many of Hofmann’s paintings, the narrative is more significant than the representation
of a historically accurate setting. Here, only the classical columns and Seal of Solomon on the
chair suggest a temple location. Of greater interest are the figures’ physiognomies, gestures
and how they interact with the “precocious” country boy from Nazareth.
Contrary to taking a cynical anti-Semitic approach to the Jewish figures, Hofmann’s elders are
individuals the viewers can relate to and question their own spiritual sensitively. The ethereal
beauty of the 12-year-old Christ contrasts markedly with the more corporeal, yet exquisitely
painted, elders of the Jerusalem temple. In his lifetime many people questioned who the mod-
el was for this prodigy Christ. Hofmann responded, “When I read about Christ in the Bible,
there arises spontaneously before my fancy a picture of Him which I try to retain and to re-
produce-that is my only prototype.” This vision of the Savior arose from an artistic and deeply
devote mind.
Jesus in the Temple quickly found its place in the collection of one of Dresden’s foremost art
museums. During the intensive bombing of Dresden during World War II the painting was
moved into the countryside for preservation. After the war tastes had changed and the painting
was not rehung.

“Other Sheep I Have”
5. Elspeth Young “Other Sheep I Have”
[$28,000]
Other Sheep I Have depicts the appearance of the resurrected Messiah to people who
inhabited ancient America at the time of His crucifixion and resurrection from the dead. As
recorded in the Book of Mormon, the resurrected Messiah appeared to a multitude of people
gathered at the site of a temple in a land then known as Bountiful, and invited them to come
forward, one by one, that each person might affirm for his or her self that He was, indeed, the
Messiah of whom the prophets had testified and written.
The figure of the Savior appears clothed in white, as described in the ancient account. It is
devoid of shadow and casts its own light on the figure of the woman. Such powerful
whiteness is also described in the ancient narrative: And his countenance did smile upon them,
and the light of his countenance did shine upon them, and behold they were as white as the
countenance and also the garments of Jesus; and behold the whiteness thereof did exceed all the
whiteness, yea, even there could be nothing upon earth so white as the whiteness thereof
(3 Nephi 19:25).
The rock upon which the Savior is depicted as standing is intended to remind the viewer that
He speaks of Himself as the Rock of Heaven (see Moses 7:53) and, as one ancient American
disciple declared: Remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the
Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds,
yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it
shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the
rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they
cannot fall (Helaman 5:12).
The grasses and wildflowers surrounding the figures bloom in the purest white, typifying the
surety of the resurrection and the hope of eternal life.
Size: 32.25” x 75”- Original painting
The painting was completed in September 2014 Details about the building of the frame.
and placed in the Church’s 2015 exhibit called
“Tell Me The Stories of Jesus”.

of the earliest books ever to mention the Book of
Mormon, the Witnesses, Joseph Smith, David Whitmer,
etc. About three pages on the Mormons.
David Marks was a missionary for about 12 years, and

and other Christian faiths. It is a book which has been called “the most powerful proselytizing work after *The
Book of Mormon*” (Givens and Grow, *Parley P. Pratt: The Apostle Paul of Mormonism*, p.90).

joy of building a city and the sorrow of then having to abandon it.

3-Story Building 150 Steps from the Nauvoo Temple
33. On an 1859 Plat, an unidentified structure stood at 1300 Mulholland Street. In 1877, Christian
Walter had a three-story building constructed that would house two separate businesses. Walter Brothers
Meat Market conducted business on the east side of the building until the early 1900s, and Central Drug
Store operated on the west side from 1877 to 1894. A painted German advertisement for the apothecary
on the outside wall of the building reflected the large German population of Nauvoo during that time
period.
[$250,000]
In 1912, Kemler’s Jewelry Store opened on the west side of the Walter Building and remained there until
1946. The owners featured watches, jewelry, silverware, confectionery goods, and ice cream.
In 1947, the two sides of the building merged into one and became Kron’s Pharmacy (1947-1958), Lutz’s
Hardware Store (1958-1970), Ruh’s Hardware, and several other businesses. For quite a few years the
Nauvoo City Council met on the third floor. Today, Latter-day Harvest bookstore is located on the main
floor of the building.

“On August 28 and 29, 1852, the Church leaders

convened a special conference in Salt Lake City
to call a new set of missionaries and to put the
practice of plural marriage in the public record.
Orson Pratt, who ten years earlier had become
disaffected for a time over the issue of polygamy
(see items 156–57), delivered the principal
discourse in its defense, and Thomas Bullock
read the revelation of July 12, 1843, to the
congregation. A report of the conference,
including the text of the revelation, was
hastened into print as a Deseret News extra—
in pamphlet form because of its length—and
advertised in the Deseret News of September
18 and October 2 at 50¢ a copy.” (Crawley 743)

This Journal was the brainchild of Brigham Young’s

sermons and other church essays be assembled and published.
Watt recorded material for the first four volumes himself.
This set is considered to be an excellent source of Church of
Latter-Day Saints teachings (“The Journal of Discourses
deservedly ranks as one of the standard works of the
Church, and every right-minded Saint will certainly welcome
with joy every Number as it comes forth from the press as an
additional reflector of ‘the light that shines from Zion’s hill.’”

Following the fall General Conference in 1852, Orson Pratt was called
to preside over the Eastern mission and to publish a periodical defending
Mormon theology and practices, particularly polygamy. Pratt covered
many doctrinal issues, including Celestial Marriage and the
Preexistence. Brigham Young thought some of the ideas discussed were
poorly conceived, and had the publication cease operation. In 1865, The
Church of Latter-day Saints disowned the writings saying, “The Seer
contains doctrines which we cannot sanction, and which we have felt
impressed to disown, so that the Saints who now live, and who may live
hereafter, may not be misled by our silence, or be left to misinterpret it.
Where these objectionable works, or parts of works, are bound in
volumes, or otherwise, they should be cut out and destroyed.”

The “fourth European edition” of the Book of Mormon was printed from the corrected stereotype
plates of the 1852 edition. Crawley lists 2 states. State 1 appears to bear no changes from the second
state of the 1852 edition except for the reset title page and the elimination of the redundant line on p.
226. State 2 differs from state 1 in the last seven lines of p. 563, which have been reset. The setting of
these lines is the same in the 1854 “fifth edition”.
Redundant line on p. 226 found in 4th edition variant Fixed text in the new 4th & 5th edition
We bring you a 3rd State, which appears to pre-date both of the others as this copy does not have the
p. 563 reset, but still bears the redundant line on p. 226 that was corrected in the other 2 states. This
may represent the true first printing of the 1854 Fourth Edition. We have searched and have found the
existence of one additional copy in private hands that bears the same variances.
4th edition variant without the

text reset on p. 563.
Text reset found in the 5th

edition where the “I” has been
placed above “body”.

inches [$78,000]

Condition of the issues is remarkable for the times. Pages are clean, mostly without tears. Housed in a
beautiful elephant folio clamshell.
Called at the April 1854 general conference to St. Louis and Cincinnati, Erastus Snow and Orson Spencer
arrived in St. Louis on August 28. At that point, St. Louis was a major way station for the European
Mormon emigrants, who sailed from Liverpool to New Orleans, went up the Mississippi to St. Louis, and
from St. Louis to a staging area on the Mississippi or Missouri River. It seems clear that Erastus Snow
came to St. Louis with the intention of establishing a newspaper, pursuant to instructions from Brigham
Young. On September 5, he presented this idea and received the council’s vote to sustain the undertaking.
A prospectus was issues on October 12, and on November 22, 1854 the paper began. It ran for 52 issues
until December 15, 1855.

The 10th European Edition of the LDS Hymnal was printed on request by
Brigham Young in 1853. Printing was completed in England in early 1854
and shipped in its entirety to Utah. It was printed in England since it was
cheaper to print, bind and ship from there than it was to do it in New York.
However the shipping took almost a year because it arrived in St Louis too
late in the season to make it across the plains on wagons, so the 1854 edition
didn’t actually hit shelves until 1855.

Excessively Scarce Photograph
83. 1 of only 3 known images of Cyril Call. Tintype. 1857/1858.

The Call Family Association has verified the authenticity of this tintype. [$7,500]
Cyril Call was introduced to the Book of Mormon in 1832 and baptized soon after. He contributed
financially and physically to the construction of the Kirtland temple, and recieved his Patriarchal
Blessing from Joseph Smith Sr., who was the father of the Prophet Joseph Smith. Call also help settle Far
West, Nauvoo - where he and his family were sealed, and finally Salt Lake City. Facing great hardship and
trials in each of his homes.
Some interesting information shared by Call’s granddaughter: “He was not blind in one eye as so many
people believed he was because of the photograph we have of him, but rather he had a paralyzed or
drooping heavy eyelid. He would take his finger and raise the eyelid and use the eye with the other one.”

Two Hymnals Printed in 1871
Salt Lake Edition

Book has foxing and wear in the interior. The block has loose signatures.
Slight tearing on the top and bottom of the spine.
The first Salt Lake edition of the Hymnal (14th official edition) marked the
beginning of much printing in the Salt Lake Valley. George Q Cannon and
his sons would become extremely well known and would go on to print
thousands of volumes over the next decades, partially since they built and
ran their own foundry allowing them to create their own type, such as was
used in this Hymnal. 10,000 copies were printed and offered in a variety of
bindings. This particular edition exists in 3 states, the latter having been
reset and corrections made. Timing for these later states is unknown. This
edition included 14 new hymns, including Eliza R Snow’s “How Great the
Wisdom and the Love”.

Joseph F. Smith’s First 50 Shares
140. 1891 - Joseph F. Smith’s first 50 shares of the Saltair Beach Company [$3500]
The original Saltair Beach Company was an ambitious project with the purpose of building a
wholesome recreational vacation resort for Utahns.
These shares were issued to President Joseph F. Smith - Second Counselor in the First Presidency
of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (nephew of Joseph Smith, the original founder).
He later became President of the church in 1901. These are of the earliest shares in The Saltair
Beach Company that were issued in 1891 when the company was formed, and before construction
began. Smith was a Vice President in the newly formed company, and he was issued these 50 shares
(A near $50,000 valuation in 2020). This specific certificate is No. 12 of the print run. He signed
the certificate several times, along with Elder George Q. Cannon, John R. Winder, and Nephi W.
Clayton.
The Great Saltair was a major part of Utah History, making this piece a significant piece of
ephemera for Utah and the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

the same material that was
used to build the beautiful
spiral staircases in the temple.

almost 50 years until it moved into a private collection.

1898 Temple Bond
187. Eleven-Year $1,000 Bond at 6% interest in gold coin. No. B347. Issued by The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Includes 50 cent battleship documentary revenue stamp as required by U.S.
Tax Act of 1898 for indemnity bonds. Signed by Lorenzo Snow (Trustee-in-Trust) with his familiar
purple pencil.
By 1898 the debt of the Church approximated $2.3 million, much of it a result of the provisions of the
Edmunds-Tucker Act of 1887 which allowed the federal government to escheat Church assets, including
tithing funds. The First Presidency offered two $500,000 bond issues in order to address indebtedness.
Half the issue was immediately taken up by three Mormon banks in the city, the State, the Deseret
National, and the Deseret Savings banks.
On January 10, 1907, President Joseph F. Smith announced that the church was entirely free of debt, with
the payment of the last two $500,000 bond issues sold by President Lorenzo Snow. Although the issued
bond was helpful, paying off the Church’s debts was largely due to the renewed emphasis on tithing.
This document came from the estate of Joseph F. Smith through his son, Calvin Smith, to the daughter of
Calvin Smith.

this edition of the Book of Mormon fulfilled one of the most
cherished ambitions of the Whitmerite church. Almost all of the
lesser Mormon churches have felt it an indignity to be dependent
upon the Utah and Reorganized churches for the text of a scripture
they hold in equal reverence with the Bible, but only three of the
churches have been able to get out editions of their own.”

Mormon in Hebrew, 4 pages with illustrations.
[$1,000]
Cover has some smudging and a green mark. Has a

smudge/mark on the 8th page. Book in good condition.
This copy of the selections of The Book of Mormon in

Hebrew was published in 1981. It was distributed around
the world by missionaries, especially in Israel and New
York City. A few years later it was withdrawn from public
distribution and the remaining copies were kept or
destroyed by the Church archives. The reasons given for
this sudden change was due to errors in the translation.
Although this is true, and much has been written about

the conflict created when the translation was being made,
others have reported that an agreement was made
between the church and the Israeli government to keep
the BYU-Jerusalem program in place in exchange for
removing the translation from the market.
