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.
