The plaster cast of Trajans Column they have is in better condition and shows more detail than the original which has suffered from air pollution since the cast was made.

Too true, the Puerta de la Gloria cast from the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela just blows me away. Imagine trying to get permission to do that sort of thing today, it would never be allowed and all for £2300. http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O40955/plaster-cast-puerta-de-la-gloria/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
