This is a death mask of a U.S. president. Can you identify which one? Less than 30 hours after the president died, a sculptor made a plaster mold of his face for use in creating later sculptures of the president. The mold itself was destroyed, but the death mask made from it was given by the sculptor to the Smithsonian two months later.
The mask was described, rather creepily, in the “Evening Star” newspaper: “The head is slightly inclined forward, as if reposing upon a pillow. Framing the face and forehead, but exposing part of the throat, is the cast of a molded drapery. . . . The left ear is entirely exposed, but only the lobe of the right ear is visible. A number of the dead President’s own hairs adhere to the right temple of the cast. One of his eyelashes rests upon the right cheek. . . . [T]he cheeks, more sunken than in life, but less so than during the lying-in state in the rotunda of the Capitol, bear the saddest reminder of the nation’s tragedy and the hellish accomplishment of anarchy.” ?? #FirstFamily #Mourning #RestInPeace #NeverForgotten #ForeverMissed #AmericanHistory #PresidentialHistory #WhiteHouseHistory #POTUShistory #MourningTraditions #APUSHhistory #MaterialCulture #Funeral #FuneralTraditions #DeathMask #Sculpture
