| Additional Commentary - This famous portrait of 'Abdu'l-Bahá was originally taken in Paris, in 1911 and was first published in Star of the West, in Vol.II, No.14, p.2 in the November 23, 1911 issue. The new translation of the quotation of Bahá’u’lláh cited above reads: "When the ocean of My presence hath ebbed and the Book of My Revelation is ended, turn your faces toward Him Whom God hath purposed, Who hath branched from this Ancient Root." -Kitíb-i-Aqdas, p. 63. The second paragraph reads “This photograph was selected by Abdul-Baha from several taken in Paris recently and permission was granted to circulate it.” |
