Masks for disfigured soldiers. US sculptress Anna Coleman Ladd (1878-1939) working on a mask for a disfigured French soldier of World War I (1914-1918). A copper mask is made from a custom mould,followed by being silvered and coated with enamel,and finally painted in flesh colours. Large numbers of soldiers received disfiguring facial wounds from shrapnel from shellfire. This,and other disabling wounds,prompted advances in prosthetics and orthopaedic and cosmetic surgery,including face masks. Photographed in Ladd's studio in July 1918 | |
