Therese at 13 years
(Feb 1886). 

The original negative was lost, and this image has been reproduced from a faulty proof, and then been re-touched.

Therese at fifteen, pictured with her hair knotted on top of her head, a style she adopted to make herself appear older for her visit to Bishop Hugonin, on 31 Oct, 1887.

This photo was taken in April, 1888, a few days before her entrance into Carmel, on 9th April.

Therese as a novice, taken in January 1889, some days after her clothing in the habit (10th Jan). She had been in the convent for nine months, and was now sixteen years old.
