I wonder what the pictures are he’s talking about. How he got them, what they’re of, etc.
I don’t know much about Frank Pickering, Chad, even whether he was LDS; I do know that, if not LDS, he was at least a good friend and cooperated in Mormon publishing and advertising ventures. His pictures of temples may have been only views of their exteriors — but if they were interior views, I strongly suspect he obtained them from the Church itself, from the set the First Presidency had made and published following the threat of blackmail from the temple intruders. I do not think Pickering would have used photographs obtained from the intruders.
But seeing the date of 1912, you’re certainly on top of your history to wonder what pictures he used and where he got them.
I wonder if the photos were the ones appearing in Talmage’s “House of the Lord” (first published in 1912).
If they were interior shots, they must have been, Gary. From the little I know of him, Pickering seems the kind of man the Church would have approved using those pictures, to spite the blackmailers by making their own images worthless.
