‎Death Masks Explained: How People Preserved Faces Before Photography
‎
‎Before photography existed, people preserved faces in a strange way: death masks.
‎Artists placed plaster directly on the face of the deceased to create an exact mold. These masks were later used by sculptors to make accurate statues and portraits.
‎
‎Many famous historical figures had death masks, including Napoleon Bonaparte and Ludwig van Beethoven.
‎
‎This eerie tradition lasted for centuries before photography made it unnecessary.
