Through an unusual combination of research, skill and chance, these authentic, unretouched photographs of St. Therese have come to light. They were taken for the most part by her sister Celine, (Sister Genevieve of the Holy Face) within the walls of the Carmel of Lisieux. Reproduced directly from the plates developed in the late 19th century, the photos appear in the exact size and condition of the originals found in the Lisieux archives. In addition, there are numerous enlargements of various sections of the photographs. Chronologically arranged, these pictures give a visual idea of Therese Martin's appearance from early childhood to the day of her death.
