This gallery of death-masks — castings taken from the phizzes of famous corpses — is completely captivating, if a little poorly presented (captions on the thumbnail pages would really help!). One of the coolest things I own is my casting from a death mask of Vincent Price, bought from legendary make-up artist Tom Savini. Pictured here, the death mask of Sir Isaac Newton, (one of the) inventor(s) of calculus.

Update: Teresa notes "The absence of captions and a working
index was the reason I listed so many of them as separate links. If
you were to link to me at that post, rather than at the main Making Light URL, your readers could also make
use of my list.
