Vision? Nary!

via William J. Bivens :
“In the 1890s, an unknown woman was found drowned in the Seine. Known as the l’Inconnue de la Seine, her death mask became a fixture in the homes of artists and writers, and her look the ideal of the age.

Many have speculated on her identity, and she has inspired a long list of artistic works by Nabokov, Rilke, Man Ray, and others. She has since become the “most kissed girl in the world” thanks to the Norwegian toymaker that used her mask to create Resusci Anne, the standard CPR doll.”
