The Brontë Sisters wrote some of the finest works in the English language including Wuthering Heights, Jayne Eyre and The Tennant of Wildfell Hall.

Emily Brontë, Charlotte Brontë and Anne Brontë were celebrities of the mid 19th century - There are no known photos of them.

Or is there?

In this video we're going to look at some key research into a recently discovered photograph that just COULD be them. This is an update of a previous video which also includes some exciting NEW evidence.

Researchers and arm-chair detectives have poured over every bit of detail of this photograph and many believe it IS them.

Please join me whilst we investigate - Les Sours Brontë.

SPECIAL THANKS to Emily Ross - Independent Researcher.
SPECIAL THANKS ALSO to Caroline - VNI viewer and Bronte enthusiast.
Key research sources and further reading.
This is (what I understand to be) the original blog by the photo researcher who actually discovered the photograph. (Apologies in advance if I have got that wrong!) It’s incredibly well put together and a fascinating read.
