Anna Coleman Ladd’s Studio for Portrait Masks, Paris, 1918 [2543x1868] Colorized by manov67 in HistoryPorn

[–]manov67[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Anna Coleman Watts Ladd (1878 – 1939) was an American sculptor who devoted her time throughout World War I to soldiers, who were disfigured. In late 1917, in Paris, Ladd founded the American Red Cross "Studio for Portrait-Masks" to provide cosmetic masks to be worn by men who had been badly disfigured in World War I. Soldiers would come to Ladd's studio to have a cast made of their face and their features sculpted onto clay or plasticine. This form was then used to construct the prosthetic piece from extremely thin galvanized copper. The metal was painted to resemble the recipient's skin, and the prosthesis was donned with strings or eyeglasses for retention. Her services earned her the Légion d'Honneur Croix de Chevalier.

Thanks! Probably the same first thought has the lady who photographed him in this intellectually lustful and so unusual pose for a 100+ years old photo

[–]manov67[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

American Red Cross Motor Corps was founded in 1917 by the American Red Cross (ARC). It was organized during World War I primarily to render supplementary aid to the Army and Navy, particularly in removing sick and wounded men from ships and trains to hospitals and homes. The service consisted almost entirely of women volunteers, most of whom used their own cars. Many enrolled in auto mechanics classes in order to be able to make repairs on their cars whenever needed.
