Fatfreek,
I've got Rutherford's old blue creation book 1928 German edition.
On the first page there is a picture of Jesus with long reddish hair and a beard. The book also has pictures of Jesus hanging from a cross his birth and burial. In those day the wt didn't have an art department, so they used paintings from "Babylons" artists.
I can scan them for you if you can make use of them. Let me know...

Here is how Jesus looked in 1914, in Russell's Photodrama of Creation:
And Jesus still had a beard in these publications from 1928:
Then Jesus' beard came off in the early 1930s. Here is how the clean-shaven Jesus looked in 1934 and 1940:
Jesus' beard didn't come back on until the hippy '60s.

Beardless and with that haircut he looks a lot like Joan of Arc (at least in popular French imagery)

The only pictuers/drawings I recall in Russell's books are those of the Great Pyramid.

Wow. Impressive, thanks to all. Those from Photo Drama were especially well done.
Thanks, again for those scans.
