2 unusual facts about Plaster cast


Plaster cast

Examples of these by John Flaxman may be found in the central rotunda of the library at University College London, and elsewhere in the University's collections.

The original from which the cast is taken may be a sculpture, building, a face, a fossil or other remains such as fresh or fossilised footprints – particularly in palaeontology (a track of dinosaur footprints made in this way can be seen outside the Oxford University Museum of Natural History).
