Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The mask of the Elephant Man. The museum of the London Hospital preserves this relic of its most famous 'patient' Joseph Merrick, rescued by the surgeon Frederick Treves (1853-1953) from a life as a side-show spectacle and taken to live in the comfort of the hospital. Merrick suffered from a disfiguring condition known as Proteus syndrome and wore the mask to cover his facial deformity in public. |
