I started writing this, I thought I discovered a new reproduction of the Alter Rebbe famous picture. Turns out there are better copies. It’s a lithograph and not a photo of the painting. In fact, there might never been an original panting. Reference to the artist is in doubt. It seems there is one authorship of the lithograph, Boris Shatz. But the rest is in doubt. In other words, a typical fake of Chabad mythology.
