1861126721861. Mills Clark. Abraham Lincoln life mask originally taken in February 1865 two months before the president's death. Mills' was the second and last life mask taken of Lincoln preserving his features directly from life rather than through later artistic interpretation. The cast is often compared to Leonard Volk's cast taken in 1860 shortly after Lincoln secured the Republican nomination and is a remarkable record of the toll the presidency and Civil War took on Lincoln physically. John Hay secretary to the president once noted that Volk cast shows "a man of fifty-one and young for his years. . . . full of life of energy of vivid aspiration. . . . .Mills' cast is so sad and peaceful in its infinite repose . . . . a look as of one on whom sorrow and care had done their worst without victory is on all the features." The Mills cast captured Lincoln's entire skull unlike the Volk which shows only the face.<br /> <br /> After Clark Mills. Abraham Lincoln life mask cast from the original 1865 mold. Plaster mask showing Lincoln's face from the forehead to below the chin with closed eyes lean cheeks pronounced cheekbones deep-set eyes narrow mouth and beard visible along the jawline. The casting emphasizes the elongated structure of Lincoln's face and preserves the asymmetry and modeling that gave later sculptors a direct reference for portrait accuracy. Mills was a New York born sculpter who developed his own method of creating plaster masks for portrait busts in the 1840s. His works include the equestrian statues of Andrew Jackson and George Washington which now reside in Washington D.C.'s Lafayette Square and Washington Circle respectively as well as the Statue of Freedom which sits atop the United States Capitol dome and over 100 portrait busts of Native American prisoners and Black students at the Hampton Agricultural and Industrial School now Hampton University.<br /> <br /> This original 1865 life mask became an essential source for later Lincoln portraits and sculptures especially after 1865 when artists and monument makers sought models for Lincoln memorials. The pieces has a unique documentary value distinct from painted or engraved likenesses often filtered through personal interpretation. Minor surface wear consistent with age; overall very good condition. Life masks are created in negative molds casts therein are created in relief "after" the original. It is unclear at when this particular cast was taken. unknown

Lincoln began constructing his cabinet on election night and sought to create a cabinet that would unite the Republican party. His eventual cabinet would include his primary rivals for the Republican nomination and although his appointees held differing views on economic issues all were opposed to the expansion of slavery into the territories of the United States. The most senior cabinet post of Secretary of State was appointed to William Seward who had recently failed to win the 1860 Republican presidential nomination and Lincoln's choice for Secretary of the Treasury was Ohio Senator Salmon P.
