Anna Coleman Ladd's Studio for Portrait Masks in Paris
"Mon travail commence là où le travail du chirurgien se termine", affirmait
Francis Derwent Wood, fondateur du programme Masks for Facial Disfigurement Department du London General Hospital : "Je suis un artiste qui doit faire ressembler le visage d'un homme à celui qu'il possédait avant sa blessure, de la manière la plus fidèle possible."
En 1917, Anna Coleman Ladd, sculptrice, fut promue au rang de capitaine après avoir rencontré Wood et ouvrit le Studio for Portrait Masks in Paris dans le Quartier Latin, financé par la croix rouge américaine.
Les prothèses faciales de Ladd, qui demandaient un mois de travail, étaient façonnées avec une feuille de cuivre, puis peintes ou émaillées à la main. Les cils et la moustache provenaient de vrais cheveux. Jusqu'à la fin de 1919, les studios Ladd produisirent 185 masques, dont on n'a retrouvé nulle trace à ce jour.

0:54 He's so happy! :) It warms my heart to see him smile! ^_^ These people did great work for these veterans and their self-esteem so they can feel confident about themselves in public, again!
Very sad - but bless those that worked so hard that these people could try to live a normal existence.
For the normal speed just set the playback speed to 0.5 and you will see the details and movements in natural way

Trés inspirant... Je te remercie, Gilbert..
Как это необыкновенно.
Omg! How precious! amazing!
Beautiful work!
En effet le nom de Jane Poupelet est occulté dans ce reportage sur le studio of portrait mask. Mme Poupelet, décorée de la légion d'honneur, avait pris la suite d'Anne Coleman Lad après son départ. On dispose de peu d'informations sur son travail.
This is real art! The best, that gifted humans could do for others in that state of life. My Grand-grand-father died in WW1 close to christmas 1916...leaving a wife with three little sons of whom one vanished 27years later in Stalingrad, while after his brothers went home - one missing a leg and the other with a bullet in his lung. All of them - father and sons - went to war in a feeling of motivation for to fulfill a justified duty and to care for the beloved ones home, as their letters home show. They were convinced, they had to go... but all their sufferings (and those they most eventually caused) were totally in vain and so is war always: a dirty business of the few, sacrificing the little ones, giving the "duties" and "reasons to fight for values". WW3 was (yet) spared out for my father and me. So with feelings of deep anger and disbelieve I watch my (so called democratic) government deliver military goods into wars, while they claim to have "values". I hope I have the chance to avoid such calamity for my little sons and I pray for the fall of evil by the power of Jesus soon. Whoever is in charge for the "good": act now - its enough!

Bueno días me alegro muchísimo por Anna Coleman es una gran artista de máscaras besos
Really inspiring!!
This is amazing
Extraordinaire
Impressionante o trabalho de Anna Coleman Uma forma para amenizar a mutilação desses soldados pós guerra. Hoje vemos muitas pessoas com mutilações na alma devido aos traumas, rejeição, carência e depressão! Mas existe um remédio eficaz para essas mutilações chamado "Jesus". Marcos 16: 16 / João 3: 16 / João 14: 6
Maravilhosa!
Pessoas especiais. Almas nobres e evoluídas. Divulgar mais essa grande mulher.
Beautiful! Now there material that Hollywood is missing..

did a dumb thing of trying to turn on the volume thinking why the sound was off. then i realized..
La souffrance de ces soldats devait être bien difficile à supporter... Jane Poupelet n'est pas présentée... Il y a peu de commentaires en français...
Can you imagine, plastic surgery 100 years ago! amazing!
İnsanlık bunca olup bitenden ders almadı, hala savaşlar yeryüzünden kalkmadı, acı.
iyi ve başarılı insanlar iyi ki varlar. Elhamdülillah
Pouvez vous me dire si l'autre femme est Jane Poupelet ? Merci

Je suis documentaliste. Dans le cadre d'un projet documentaire, j'aimerais retrouver la source du petit film sur Anna Coleman. Pourriez-vous m'aider ? Je vous en remercie par avance.
