Feel free to contribute your own captions.

I like to call this one, "Just A Few Years Shy Of 15" or "Wife Number 35."

I’ve never seen Smith portrayed in the form of a hobbit.

Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

Joseph, alone with a young girl in a secluded meadow. What was the artist thinking? Is it? Perhaps it's a secret "easter egg" type thing by the artist? Criticism in plain site and the Church and facilities team didn't pick it up. A subliminal reminder of Joseph's unhealthy predilection.

Her father Heber had sent her two china dolls from his missions and when Joseph visited he picked one up to look at it and broke its head off. Helen wrote, “He merely remarked: ‘As that has fallen, so shall the heathen gods fall.’ I stood there a silent observer, unable to understand or appreciate the prophetic words, but thought them a rather weak apology for breaking my doll’s head off.”
