[KREWSON SR., Martin (1912-2012), sculptor]. Mark Twain / Samuel L. Clemens. [N.p., ca. 1970s]. Lifesize wax figure of an older Mark Twain, standing. Figure is dressed in custom-made white cloth suit, after Twain's signature style. With small wooden leaning display sign. Light rubbing, minor soiling. Fine. This figure, like all the other figures offered in this sale, has a sculpted wax head (with real human hair on his head) and hands. Like all the figures offered in this sale, the body is on a mannequin base (arms, torso, legs - the head and hands are sculpted upon plain mannequin head and hands). The eyebrows on this figure were obtained from Krewson's arms or legs (eyebrow or facial hair were similarly obtained for all figures). The eyes are ophthalmologist-grade glass eyes, like all the figures offered. One figure (?Tom Sawyer," see below) has real human teeth, donated from a child who had dental surgery. Of note, these figures even have fingerprints (most likely from Krewson). These figures were displayed in Hannibal, MO's ?Haunted House on Hill Street Wax Museum" for years (Hannibal is Twain's birthplace). The sculptor, Martin Krewson Sr., was a master wax sculptor, who created wax figures for the ?Hall of Presidents Wax Museum" in Gettysburg, PA (purportedly, President Lyndon B. Johnson was so pleased with his figure, that he personally reached out to Krewson to congratulate him), and ?The Lochrie Wax Museum" in New Orleans, LA. This figure comes with two framed display items about Krewson. Approximately 70 ?" high. Third-party transportation required.
