This mask was made from
a proof by Dr. Antommarchi, which he created for contribution.
Napoleon's mother gave
a face mask of her son to the Museum of Corte, in Corsica.
A certain Mister Turco,
artisan in moulding in Toulon, France, in the 1900's, found a way to get
the sample
from the Museum Director
at the time (a retired commander, apparently), to whom he promised to give
a copy.
Once done, the piece
was returned to the Museum of Corte.
According to Mister Turco's
descendant, the base was made by his great grand-father.
