The book details the work of John Henri Isaac Browere, an artist renowned for creating life masks of prominent figures in American history, including Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. It explores the significance of Browere's work in the context of American art and the historical figures he captured, as well as the challenges he faced in achieving recognition for his contributions." "The opening of the text introduces readers to the genesis of Browere's life masks, illustrating how an interest in this art form evolved into a comprehensive collection. Hart provides insights into Browere’s early experiences with sculpture and how he developed his pioneering technique of creating life masks. The proem highlights the cultural importance of this art form, indicating that the masks Browere created served not only as artistic representations but also as historical documents that preserve the likenesses of influential Americans.
