Wertvolle Kopien: Gipsabgusse altorientalischer Denkmaler in Deutschland by Ellen Rehm [Hardcover]

While plaster casts were very common in the collections at the Classical Archaeology and were discussed and published, this was not the case for casts of objects of the Middle East. In this book these copies, their fabrication, and their history are presented for the first time. Since the mid of the 19th century they were collected by museums and collection of the Classical Archaeology at Universities. In this book you will find a catalogue of more than 400 casts in more than 40 collections. The nearly 200 motifs are completely depicted; supplementary images illustrate the topic.While plaster casts were very common in the collections at the Classical Archaeology and were discussed and published, this was not the case for casts of objects of the Middle East.
