mary1goore Text: as seen in guillermo del toro's frankenstein, the mid-19th-century fisk coffin, also known as the fisk metallic burial case, featured an airtight seal and cast-iron construction designed to slow decay and preserve the body for viewing and long-distance transportation. developed by almond dunbar fisk in 1848, these coffins were marketed as sanitary, modern, and protective against grave robbers. their distinctive anthropoid (body- shaped) form, glass viewing plate, and metal shell reflected both victorian fascination with death and the growing influence of medical science at the time. images: historical photography of such a coffin and one of the coffins in the mentioned film.
