FACING DEATH
Prior to the age of photography, death masks were used to venerate the dead. As the term implies, a death mask made of the deceased's face shortly after his or her demise. The tradition is as old as the ancient Egyptians and Incas. It involved the use of plaster or wax to preserve the facial image of the deceased. Down through American history, the death masks of such famous Americans as Geoige Washington have been preserved, which enable the living to conjure up a lasting image of what these great men looked like. In essence, death masks, are no different from photographs. They help us remember the dead.
