Well KH is suppose to be tall too, like 6 foot or near it, and Morya like over 6 feet 6.4-6.6. You can see Morya is taller then KH so if KH is already 6 foot something then the perspectives might change. And HBP seating in a chair does not even come…
On the other hand - it could be a bonafide photo, of _somebody_. A curiosity at least. Thanks for posting it. (Another "fact" that comes to mind, is that HPB described M as a big man, which I take to be well over 6 foot - which isn't born out in the…
Thank you for the manual, Mark!! It is an honour having such a tresaure of old time...pretty old book, 1912, phew!
:D Thks I'll have to go to Pasadena...that means Pasadena California? In San Diego it does not exist any T.S. there??
I don't know photography, and what is possible. It might be significant that Knapp worked for the movie industry, and perhaps he worked in "special effects," which would give him expertise is faking a photo, or film, or being "creative" Like Paul sa…
Also, just for a curious note: I really don't know if Saint Germain-Racokzy exists (Racokzy i knew was a caracter from late 1800s) I always have been a bit sceptic of his existence so popular here in Metaphysic circles - popular here in Mexico -
But…
Bogus picture?? At worst, it seems it could be the deteriorated early photograph of the original painting, it could be.
It has the characteristics of a very old picture of mid-late 18 00s.
If it is a painting, it is a very good reproduction of a pai…
Mark,
The only painting I can find by Knapp that resembles this image is the one I have added to this album which I have titled " painting of the HPB photo" the two images are obviously not the same, either he painted BOTH of these images or one is…
If it is a picture, it can move a lot of ghosts buried in the depths of Theosophy. Still as a painting amazes me. Beautiful.
Mark, I looked the link you send to me, but it seems that - as i know just recently - that Point Loma doesn't exist anymore…
Rose: Looking like a low resolution photograph, doesn't make it so. One has to try to find the facts. Paul researched it some and says it is a _portrait_ by Knapp. As said below, Knapp worked with the Philosophic Research Society (Manly Hall) - so t…
But then, it is a painting or a real photograph of the time? if it is a painting it does not demerit anything I believe, so it is a perception of the artist's point of view of the Masters.
More than St. Germain i think it will be the Prince Rackoczy…
I have just finished an excellent bio of Alfred Russel Wallace, The Heretic in Darwin's Court by Ross Slotten. Will put up a blog post here about it before the end of the month. He was a good friend of Elliott Coues so presumably his TS interest ros…
