Thérèse was known in an overwhelming way by her texts, but also by her images, by the representations of her which were made in the Carmel. In the first reactions toStory of a soul, we can read that the first admirers of Thérèse demanded images. Already on October 24, 1898 for example: "I would like to have his image"; then "What happiness have caused us these images!" Here is the extraordinary story of Carmel's response to these requests.
You will of course find the 47 authentic photographs of Saint Thérèse, the retouched photos, as well as all the paintings, charcoals, drawings produced by Céline and by the artists working under her direction.
Céline turns first to the little girl, the angel, the young teenager: figures of innocence. But it is the wife of "Thérèse ovale", then of "Thérèse aux roses" who will incarnate for all Sister Thérèse of the Child Jesus.
