Summary
| Description | Chest plates commissioned by Frances Glessner Lee, about 1940. Mrs. Frances Glessner Lee, the heiress to the International Harvester fortune, had a passion for forensic science. As a teaching and reference tool, she made a series of ceramic plates that illustrate the typical wound patterns caused by gunshots fired from a variety of weapons at different distances. The six ceramic "chest plates" here, part of a much larger collection, show the wound patterns caused by a Smith & Wesson .38 revolver, with lead bullet, shot at various distances. The chest plates are used as teaching aids and for reference. Distance are: bottom row, left to right: contact, 1", 3". Top row, left to right: 6", 25", exit wound. |
