Reviews

""The book is a mine of useful material. It is the best publication in English on the revival of lost-wax casting in the closing decades of the nineteenth century; it is an essential source for archival detail on Rosso; and it points a way forward for the use of scientific analysis in the study of variant casts."" Patrick Elliott in Sculpture Journal ""... the book is a solid addition to the growing literature of technical art history’s marriage to traditional art history, with interesting insights into Rosso’s working practice."" Jane R. Becker in Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide
