The RUSI Mask is an Authentic Replicate of the Original Death Mask of Napoléon

“…In his 1964 article [2], de Veauce wrote "André Masséna, son of Victor Masséna, declared that this mask was not in the collections of his father". In his second book [3], in 1971, de Veauce indicated that Louis-Charles de Bourbon was in fact "a swindler whose true name was William Reeves". Consequently, de Veauce alerted at that time the Pr Félix Markham (an eminent specialist of the Napoléon period) and the mask was declared as a false and remote from the window where it was laced in the London Museum.…”
