Nathan Hale was a distinguished American Patriot, soldier, and spy for the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. Born on June 6, 1755, Nathan Hale excelled academically and graduated with honors from Yale University in 1773. Soon after, in 1775, he joined a Connecticut militia unit and rapidly rose to the rank of first lieutenant within five months. He became a valued member of Knowlton's Rangers, a reconnaissance and espionage detachment established by General George Washington. At the young age of just over twenty-one, Hale's courage and determination led him to volunteer for a perilous mission behind enemy lines before the Battle of Harlem Heights. Though lacking formal training in espionage, he succeeded in gathering vital information about British troop movements for a week.Sadly, on September 21, 1776, during his return from a mission, Hale was captured and found in possession of an incriminating document written in Latin, hidden in the sole of his shoe. Without a fair trial, General William Howe, ordered his execution for spying, which was carried out the next morning. At dawn, Hale was led to the gallows, where he faced his death with remarkable courage, supposedly uttering, "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." Nathan Hale's legacy lives on as America's first spy and a symbol of unwavering patriotism. In recognition of his selfless sacrifice and devotion, he was officially declared Connecticut's state hero on October 1, 1985.So, what did Nathan Hale look like?Regrettably, no authentic portraits or miniatures of Nathan Hale exist, and neither do any life or death masks. Nevertheless, sculptors have crafted statues depicting their interpretation of his appearance.In 1890, sculptor Frederick William MacMonnies won a competition for a statue of Nathan Hale. The bronze was erected in Manhattan’s City Hall Park in 1893. MacMonnies had no images of Hale to consult, so he portrayed him as a quintessential American patriot. Contemporary accounts paint a picture of a remarkable individual. Beyond his intelligence and athletic prowess in wrestling, football, and broad jumping, Hale was described as kind, gentle, religious, and exceptionally good-looking. With fair skin, light blue eyes, and hair, he stood just under six feet tall, captivating both men and women alike. His presence and character earned him the admiration and affection of all who knew him, and it was said that all the girls in New Haven were enamored by him. Nathan's voice exuded a captivating blend of "low, sweet, and musical tones." As recounted by a former student, he possessed the graceful demeanor of a seasoned academic, combined with a soft elegance.

A Photoshop facial reconstruction of the Giuseppe Ceracchi 1794 bust of Alexander Hamilton. 0:00 - Biography 1:26 - Ceracchi 1794 bust of Hamilton 2:20 - Bust Facial Reconstruction 3:08 - End Alexander Hamilton was a Founding Father, military officer, and statesman who served as the first Secretary of Treasury from 1789 to 1795 during George Washington's presidency. He was born on January 11, 1755, in Nevis, a British colonial island in the Caribbean, as an illegitimate child to Scotsman James Hamilton and Rachel Fawcett Levine. In the wake of the Boston Tea Party, Hamilton dropped out of college to join the Sons of Liberty and pursue the American cause. Hamilton became one of Washington's closest military confidants and was promoted to lieutenant colonel. After the war, Hamilton returned to New York City where he practiced law and became one of the New York delegates to the Constitutional Convention in 1787. Hamilton debated for his vision of American government and, along with James Madison and John Jay, penned The Federalist Papers, arguing for ratification of the Constitution. In 1789, President Washington appointed Hamilton as the first Secretary of the Treasury. Hamilton also became the de facto head of the Federalist Party. However, his life was tragically cut short on July 12, 1804, when he was mortally wounded in a duel with Vice President Aaron Burr, his political rival. Hamilton's legacy has endured throughout history, with his face appearing on the ten dollar bill and his story being told in a critically acclaimed musical bearing his name. So, what did Hamilton really look like? Despite the absence of life masks or photographs of Hamilton, there is an accurate depiction of him. Giuseppe Ceracchi, an Italian sculptor, created a marble bust of Hamilton in 1794. This bust served as a template for various sculptures and paintings, and is considered the most accurate representation of Hamilton. Ceracchi also crafted several replicas of the bust using both plaster and marble. In 1896, The Atlantic Monthly published an article titled “Reminiscences of Mrs Alexander Hamilton.” The author recalled spending time with Hamilton’s widow, Eliza Schuyler Hamilton, in 1852 and being struck by the marble bust of Hamilton that she gazed at longingly. This same bust can now be viewed at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Arkansas, serving as a timeless memorial to Hamilton. Now, let us imagine Ceracchi's bust of Hamilton being transformed into a realistic image that appears like a photograph. In this image, we can envision Hamilton as he would have looked at the age of 37, with striking piercing blue eyes and reddish-brown hair, without any powdering. Hamilton's manners and appearance were highly esteemed by those who lived during his time. Fisher Ames, a close friend and fellow Federalist, was particularly enchanted by his deep azure eyes, which he described as "eminently beautiful," as well as his physical deportment, which he deemed as "one of the most elegant of mortals" with "easy, graceful, and polished movements." Another male contemporary also noted Hamilton's exceptional good looks, commenting on his fair complexion and almost feminine rosiness of his cheeks, making his figure and color an uncommonly handsome face." ▬About Digital Yarbs ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ I'm a Photoshop composition artist who enjoys history.

Poor Richard – The First American “Benjamin Franklin was a Founding Father and a polymath, inventor, scientist, printer, politician, freemason and diplomat. Franklin helped to draft the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, and he negotiated the 1783 Treaty of Paris ending the Revolutionary War.” “His scientific pursuits included investigations into electricity, mathematics and mapmaking. A writer known for his wit and wisdom, Franklin also published Poor Richard’s Almanac, invented bifocal glasses and organized the first successful American lending library.” The bust……a life mask? Most of my facial reconstructions are from J. I. Browere and Jean Antione Houdon busts made from life masks, however, this Franklin bust is by Jean-Jacques Caffieri. Caffieri was a French sculpture known for his portrait busts in terracotta and marble. Caffieri worked with Houdon for a time. One could assume that perhaps Caffieri used life masks for his creations as well. I chose Caffieri’s bust for the following reasons: Franklin sat for this bust, Franklin preferred Caffieri’s bust to that of Houdon’s and Caffieri’s bust appears to be the most accurate likeness when compared to Franklin’s death mask. ▬About Digital Yarbs ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ I'm a Photoshop composition artist who enjoys history.

What did the founding fathers look like? Can we know for sure? We primarily know them and others by the surviving engravings, drawings, paintings and sculptures housed in our museums and historical sites. But are they accurate?

Dolley Madison Life Mask Reconstruction and Enhanced Daguerreotypes. These images of Dolley Madison are re-touched and enhanced from high-resolution scans taken of the original daguerreotypes located at the Greensboro History Museum in Greensboro, North Carolina. The life mask of Dolley was cast by J. I Browere in 1825 at her Montpelier home in Virginia. Dolley's mask is the only one Browere cast of a woman and is located at Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y. Her mask is currently not on display to the public.

A life mask de-aged. What did John Quincy Adams look like young? When one thinks of John Quincy Adams, sixth President of the United States, an old bald man with grey mutton chops comes to mind. This is because of the widely circulated photograph of him taken in 1843 at the age of 76. Interestingly, he is the earliest President of whom we have a surviving photograph. Unfortunately, this photograph and the resulting picture in our minds is not what Adams looked like when he was President from 1825 to 1829. As President, his hair was brown and he did not yet have his "signature" mutton chops. So what did Adams look like during his presidency? Fortunately we have another true likeness of him taken by sculptor John Henri Isaac Browere in the form of a cast plaster life mask executed in Washington, D.C. in 1825. Browere’s casting process utilized a proprietary plaster mixture that due to its lightweight nature did not distort the facial features of his subject’s face as the more common plaster utilized by his contemporaries did. This by all accounts resulted in what was considered an extremely accurate likeness. The initial reconstructed life mask was done using Photoshop and shows how Adams most likely appeared in 1825 when he was 58 years old and in the first year of his presidency. That reconstruction shown below depicts Adams as he appeared when he was President with brown hair and no sideburns, or mutton chops as they were called in his time. Next, using Photoshop and AI technology I have "de-aged" the reconstructed life mask of Adams back to his early 20's. I based Adam's hair style on the John Single Copley painting of him at age 29. Adams hair in that painted portrait appears to have some white powdering as was custom at this time period; however, we know his hair was dark brown from a portrait painted near the time of his presidency that shows him with brown hair. Disclaimer: Per historical records, the original castings of Browere’s life masks are considered exact likenesses; however, the de-aging process despite all attempts to maintain historical accuracy, cannot guarantee that level of exactness. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 00:06 - The Daguerreotypes 00:36 - President Adams 00:45 - The Life Mask 01:27 - The De-Aged Life Mask 01:57 - Disclaimer 02:12 - Ending ▬About Digital Yarbs ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ I'm a Photoshop composition artist who enjoys history.

A life mask de-aged. What did James Madison look like young? There are no photographs of James Madison; however, John Henri Isaac Browere was able to capture his likeness in the form of a life mask. Broweer’s casting process utilized a proprietary plaster mixture that due to its lightweight nature, did not distort the facial features of his subject’s face as the common plaster utilized by his contemporaries did. This by all accounts resulted in what was considered an extremely accurate likeness. Browere met Madison at Madison’s Montpelier home in Orange Virginia in 1825 to make the casting. Madison was 74 years old at the time. James Madison said of his finished life mask, "Per request of Mr. Brower, busts of myself and of my wife, regarded as exact likenesses, have been executed by him in plaster, being casts made from the molds formed on our persons, of which this certificate is given under my hand at Montpelier, October 19th, 1825. The initial reconstructed life mask was done using Photoshop, and shows how Madison most likely appeared in 1825. Historical evidence shows Madison had started balding by his mid-thirties, thus he is depicted with his widow's peak comb-over pulled back into a queue. Madison appears frail. He was a slightly built man, and sickly most of his life. He stood just 5 feet 4 inches tall and rarely tipped the scales at much more than 100 pounds. His advanced age did not make matters any better. His face is lined with wrinkles and his eyes blepharitic, puffiness around the eyes. The life mask further reveals that one side of his face droops significantly indicating Madison may have had a stroke; however, this cannot be ascertained from the historical record. In 1828, Margaret Bayard Smith, seeing Madison for the first time in ten years, noted, “His little blue eyes sparkled like stars from under his bushy grey eyebrows and amidst the deep wrinkles of his poor thin face. Nor have they lost their look of mischief, that used to lurk in their corners." Using Photoshop and AI technology, I've attempted to "de-age" the reconstructed life mask of Madison by forty plus years back to the age of 32. This age was chosen, because it corresponds with the Charles Willson Peale painted portrait of Madison done of him at that age in 1783. The first order of business, was to restore his face to a pre-stroke condition. That completed, the “de-aging” process was like any other. Using Peale’s work as a reference I styled Madison's hair with loose bangs similar to the portrait. Madison's hair at this stage of life would have been chestnut brown, but he powdered his hair white in the style of the day. Portraits of the younger Madison also show him with dark eyebrows. Just seven years later, on June 8, 1789, James Madison addressed the House of Representatives and introduced a proposed Bill of Rights to the Constitution. Eleven years later he would marry Dolley Payne Todd. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 00:06 - The Life Mask 00:23 - About James Madison 00:43 - The Reconstructed Life Mask 01:17 - The De-Aged Life Mask 02:19 - Disclaimer 02:36 - Ending ▬About Digital Yarbs ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ I'm a Photoshop composition artist who enjoys history.

What did the founding fathers look like? What did other early historic figures really look like? Can we know for certain? We primarily know them and others by the surviving engravings, drawings, paintings and sculptures housed in our museums and historical sites. But are they accurate? Or, do they suffer from “artistic license” and “sympathetic treatment” commonly employed by many contemporary portrait artists? Before photography, the art form of the life mask was the best way to create an exact likeness of an individual. Basically, plaster would be applied to the head and sometimes upper torso to create a mold from which a life mask or bust of the person could be cast. This would result in a three-dimensional, faithful transfer capturing in minute detail the true likeness of the subject. Thanks to the work of sculptor’s John Henri Isaac Browere and Jean-Antoine Houdon we have a variety of life masks of famous early Americans giving us the chance to see their true likeness. Featured here are the RECONSTRUCTED life masks and more of George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Dolley Madison, John Quincy Adams, Martin Van Buren, Marquis de Lafayette and Henry Clay. This video not only contains the reconstructed life masks of these historic figures but also facial animations. We also get to see what they might have looked like in daguerreotypes and photographs.

What did James Madison Really Look Like? See the Lost Daguerreotypes of James and Dolley Madison. Wait! No photographs of James Madison exist, you say. This is true, but we can know what he really looked like, but not necessarily according to his painted portraits. Most portraits suffer from “artistic license” and “sympathetic treatment” commonly employed by many contemporary portrait artists. Before photography, the art form of the life mask was the best way to create an exact likeness of an individual. Basically, plaster would be applied to the head and sometimes upper torso to create a mold from which a life mask or bust of the person could be cast. This would result in a three-dimensional faithful transfer capturing, in minute detail, the true likeness of the subject. Thanks to the work of sculptor John Henry Isaac Browere, we have James and Dolley Madison's life masks, giving us the chance to see their true likenesses. According to James Madison, both his and Dolley's life masks were exact likenesses of themselves. He stated, “Per request of Mr. Browere, busts of myself and of my wife, regarded as exact likenesses, have been executed by him in plaster, being casts made from the moulds formed on our persons, of which this certificate is given under my hand at Montpelier, October 19th, 1825” Now, see the reconstructed life masks of James and Dolley Madison come to life showing us what they most likely looked like in photographs and daguerreotypes.

Browere in 1825, facial animations, a new enhanced view of his face, as well as how he might have looked in daguerreotypes. Unlike painted portraits, according to James Madison himself, his life mask was an exact likeness. That Madison was satisfied with the result of Browere’s skill is shown by the following:“Per request of Mr. Browere, busts of myself and of my wife, regarded as exact likenesses, have been executed by him in plaister, being casts made from the moulds formed on our persons, of which this certificate is given under my hand at Montpelier, 19, October, 1825”.....James Madison ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 00:25 - Life Mask Time Lapse 00:56 - Enhanced View of James Madison 01:15 - James Madison Profile 01:26 - James Madison Daguerreotypes 02:02 - Life Mask Animations 02:32 - Credits 03:00 - Subscribe ▬About Digital Yarbs ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ I'm a Photoshop composition artist who enjoys history.

Using Photoshop and select AI (artificial intelligence) tools, I have created a new portrait of my 4th great-grandfather, Jackson Chaney (1817-1894) based on a photograph taken circa 1888. This new portrait is not just another colorization of a black and white photograph but a reconstruction featuring a rotation to a face-forward view of Jackson who is also now donning modern attire. It is said the eyes are the window to the soul which likely explains my preference for portraiture where subjects are facing the camera. There is something about looking directly into someone’s eyes to help understand their character. Unfortunately, in the case of my 4th great-grandfather, no front-facing photographs are known to exist. But, now with Photoshop and select AI tools, it is possible to change the facial angle in a photograph. ▬About Digital Yarbs ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ I'm a Photoshop composition artist who enjoys history.

A Photoshop reconstruction of the LIFE mask of Henry Clay. Henry Clay Sr. (April 12, 1777 – June 29, 1852) was an American attorney and statesman who represented Kentucky in both the Senate and House. He was the seventh House Speaker as well as the ninth Secretary of State, also receiving electoral votes for president in the 1824, 1832, and 1844 presidential elections. He helped found both the National Republican Party and the Whig Party. For his role in defusing sectional crises, he earned the appellation of the "Great Compromiser" and was part of the "Great Triumvirate" of Congressman, alongside fellow Whig Daniel Webster and John C. Calhoun. Clay is generally regarded as one of the important political figures of his era. Most historians and political scientists consider Clay to be one of the most influential speakers of the house in U.S. history. In 1957, a Senate Committee selected Clay as one of the five greatest U.S. senators, along with Daniel Webster, John C. Calhoun, Robert La Follette, and Robert A. Taft. A 1986 survey of historians ranked Clay as the greatest senator in U.S. history, while a 2006 survey of historians ranked Clay as the 31st-most influential American of all time. Some historians have argued that a Clay victory in the 1844 election would have prevented both the Mexican-American War and the American Civil War. ▬About Digital Yarbs ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ I'm a Photoshop composition artist who enjoys history.

A Photoshop reconstruction of the LIFE mask of 8th U.S. President, Martin Van Buren. Martin Van Buren - December 5, 1782 – July 24, 1862) was an American lawyer and statesman who served as the eighth president of the United States from 1837 to 1841. A founder of the Democratic Party, he had previously served as the ninth governor of New York, the tenth United States secretary of state, and the seventh vice president of the United States. He won the 1836 presidential election with the endorsement of popular outgoing President Andrew Jackson and the organizational strength of the Democratic Party. He lost his 1840 reelection bid to the Whig nominee, William Henry Harrison, thanks in part to the poor economic conditions surrounding the Panic of 1837. Later in his life, Van Buren emerged as an elder statesman and an important anti-slavery leader who led the Free Soil Party ticket in the 1848 presidential election. © copyright 2022 Cheryl A.
