Summary edit

Face of a man showing post mortem discolouration
Title
Face of a man showing post mortem discolouration
Description

Watercolour drawing of the face of a man to show the appearance caused by very rapid post-mortem decomposition. It was made thirty-six hours after death during the hot weather of the summer of 1893 (June 13th). The man fell from a scaffold, and one of the poles entered the rectum, causing rupture of the liver and other severe internal injuries.
