Abraham's Lincoln's face


Associated Press

A plaster mold of Abraham's Lincoln's face, probably made from a bronze copy of a life mask made shortly before the president's death in 1865, is seen Monday, August 13, 2007, at the Chicago History Museum. The plaster cast is one of two life masks used in a new study that found an unusual degree of asymmetry in the 16th president's face.
