This executioner’s mask from the 1800s is just so unnecessary on so many levels. First of all, why did the executioner really need a mask? It’s not like they are going to get snitched on since the person they’re looking at is about to die.
On top of that, why did they think adding a lopsided grin was appropriate? Nothing makes sense, and I’m scared. The photo coming up is from the 1980s but has an element of timeless terror.
