Photo 29 May 10 notes L’Inconnue de la Seine
An infamous death-mask of a young woman whose body had been pulled from the Seine River in Paris, sometime in the 1870s or 1880s. As the story goes, a pathologist at the Paris morgue was so taken by her beauty he had a plaster cast death mask made of her face. The resulting cast was widely reproduced and became a popular objet d’art.
Her memory persists into modern times, and her face was used as the first aid mannequin Resusci Anne. It was created by Peter Safar and Asmund Laerdal in 1958 and was used starting in 1960 in numerous CPR courses. Therefore, the face has been called by some “the most kissed face” of all time.
