plaster cast of the most kissed girl in history
VISITED 17/02

This beautiful face mask is that of the Unknown girl found dead in the river Seine at the end of the 19th century.
At the time the unknown dead were put behind the Notre-Dame in a morgue there that kept the dead on display for identification.

Her face was casted and hung outside a shop as no one came forward to say they new her and because of her beauty writers and artist would make up stories about her. It was thought she committed suicide as she didn't have any marks on her. So the story goes she jumped into the water as she was a victim of unrequited love and suicide was her only option.

However this girl has become the most kissed girl, as she's been used as the casting for the mannequins for the CPR dummies
