I can only think the question re: authenticity of the pair of portraits came up because they are often reproduced on cards with artistic embellishments (a halo, stigmata on the hands, & c) or with colour tinting. The clarity of the images is superb (the long exposures of the time could give very high definition).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055912381407477995.post-37891183730792155362008-11-23T13:00:00.000-05:002008-11-23T13:00:00.000-05:00Hi Erick,Yes, in fact I am in the process of tryin...Hi Erick,<BR/>Yes, in fact I am in the process of trying to determine the dates of the photographs.<BR/><BR/>I am awaiting responses from both the Postulator General and also the Passionist Sisters at the Monastery/Sanctuary of St Gemma in Lucca.<BR/><BR/>For now, without going into too much detail, one of the above sources has "Gemma Bambino" (Gemma as a youth) associated to the picture with the bricks/bars behind it.<BR/>For sure, the Postulator General said she was sick in that picture. This fact, and especially both of these facts, if true, would explain the reason why she looks somewhat different in the photos.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, more details should be forthcoming as soon as I recieve replies from the Postulator General and the Passionist Sisters.<BR/><BR/>May God bless you and yours,<BR/>GlennGlenn Dallairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14335880223972671663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055912381407477995.post-49116166231362366642008-11-23T08:44:00.000-05:002008-11-23T08:44:00.000-05:00Hi Glenn,Thank you for your efforts to verify the ...Hi Glenn,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your efforts to verify the authenticity of these photographs.<BR/><BR/>Now that the question of the authenticity has been put to rest, would it also be possible to post below each photo of St Gemma her age (or at least the year) in which each photo was taken?<BR/><BR/>It is so rare to have a photo of such a great saint that I'm sure many people would like to know her age or the year in each photo. This is also true in light of the fact that she looks quite different in the photo with the brick-wall background, when compared with the other two well-known photos (which seem to have been taken the same day).<BR/><BR/>May God bless you for your work of devotion on this wonderful website.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/><BR/>ErickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
