In regard to the question thou askest about the picture of
this oppressed one, say that it was much spread in America: Know that this
imprisoned one never had a picture taken except in youth, and that one also on
account of the command and will of Baha’u’llah, I merely consented so as to
obey His command. Therefore I do not like it to be great spread. I desire of
God, that the traces of the spiritual likeness, which are attributes and
qualities, will remain eternally. - ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol.
2)
