Death Masks

Back in the day, people used to make death masks.

I find it fascinating to find some older ones that let us know what some famous historical figures looked like.


IN order:

Abraham Lincoln
Aaron burr
Beethoven
Ben Franklin
Dante
Isaac Newton
John Dillinger
Leo Tolstoy
Lincoln and George Washington
Martin Luther
Napoleon
Robert E Lee
Theodore Roosevelt
Vladimir Lenin
Ulysses S Grant
Woodrow Wilson

Re: Death Masks

This is extremely interesting. Thanks for the post. I had no idea how accurate they were until the ones are shown next to actual pictures of the person.

Re: Death Masks

Fantastic, thank you! I saw death masks of hanged convicts at the Melbourne Gaol and they are fascinating.
