<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 270674, member: 55&quot;]I suspect that these are hand-drawn copies, or perhaps the originals, of a series of &quot;portraits of the Masters&quot; produced through semi-magical means in 1878 by &quot;Monsieur Harisse.&quot; (Some of the portraits &quot;approved by H.P.B.&quot; were done at various times by other artists also)</p><p>See <a href="http://theosophy.wiki/w-en/index.php?title=Portraits_of_the_Masters" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://theosophy.wiki/w-en/index.php?title=Portraits_of_the_Masters" rel="nofollow">http://theosophy.wiki/w-en/index.php?title=Portraits_of_the_Masters</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Your drawing of Master M (Morya) appears to be the same or very similar to the drawing shown at <a href="http://www.blavatskyarchives.com/mastersportraitsintro.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.blavatskyarchives.com/mastersportraitsintro.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.blavatskyarchives.com/mastersportraitsintro.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If yours are the original Harisse or Schmiechen drawings, perhaps a fan of Theosophy would find them quite valuable.&nbsp;&nbsp; On the other hand, a traveling Theosphical lecturer might well have found it handy to have the &quot;original&quot; magically inspired drawings on hand during the lectures, and thus the hand-done copies.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure how you would go about identifying whether they were copies or originals....perhaps a thorough reading of the theosophical literature might reveal what happened to the drawings and other occult materials after the decline of Theosophy.</p><p>One of the links above has a selection of literature, available for purchase.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
