GEORGE
WASHINGTON LIFE MASK
CAST
ORIGINALY IN 1785
George Washington(1732-1799)
President (1789-1797)
George Washington
the First President of the United States of America. George Washington
was selected for this office because he symbolized qualities of diiscepline,
aristocratic duty, military orthodoxy and persistence in adversity .
The original
cast for this was taken in 1785 by Jean Antoine
Houdon when washington was 53. Houdin stated
he " Had no idea of the majesty and grandure of Washingtons form and features
untill he studied him as a subject.".
When Washington
returned to Mount Vernon afrter the war, he was one of the most famous
men in the world. Being before photography many artists clamored to capture
his image which consumed much of his time. Washingtons coments were, "I
am so hackneyed to the touches of painters' pencils that I am now altogether
at thir beck, and sit like patience on a monument, whilst they are deliniating
the lines of my face."
To save him time
in sitting Washington agreed to having this mask made. It has been good
fortunes of generations to have this important artifact as part of our
national heritage.
The original
cast has been restored and enhanced to show more of the head and neck.
Also the Hair and eybrows have been recreated to create a very impresive
display.
Now you can own
this wonderfull representation of our First President. It would be great
for your Home, Office, School, Public Building or Library.

in Ultra Cal the hardest Gypsum product available. then finished in Bronze
color , rubed with an antiquing overlay to bring out the detail and then
sealed to protect it. The mask measures 8 X 11 inches.

the hardware to hang it.
