The story of death masks is slightly strange, however in the late 18oo's this was an increasing fashion to have of dead loved ones.
Death masks were also used to have to help identify dead bodies that hadn't been identified.
When the persons face became damaged either by death or during they would take cast of the hands.
Death masks have actually been around for a long time before photography took over, the Egyptians used mummification and life like tombs to show the dead, such like Tutankhamun.
