Does anyone know of any accredited photographs taken of the famous writers Emily & Anne Bronte? I know that there is one photograph I have seen believed to be that of Charlotte but am unaware of any for the other 2 literary siblings...

Furthermore is there any surviving record of whether either the earlier born sisters, Maria or Elizabeth had any literary talent of note?? This would be most interesting to know!

Also, what was the general public view of the Bronte family at the time? I have heard that during the period of most of the writings the sisters were intentionally reclusive, but since they lived at at a parsonage one would perhaps surmise they were active churchgoers. (??) If so I wonder how well they engaged socially with their fellow parishioners?? Perhaps they just kept quiet about their writings??? I guess I simply question what sort of personalities they had...

Finally was it ever absolutely ptoven as to exactly what the sisters died from? Some say TB while other mention cholera/typhoid etc...

Can anyone please clarify these points?? Much appreciated.
