摘要本文综述了历史文献中用于生产石膏模型和处理其表面的历史技术和材料。它回顾了一系列关于铸造者艺术的手册、论文和食谱，以及一系列与铸造制造和表面涂层相关的专利。该评论的导言通过综合背景信息，展示了相关的档案、历史和技术调查如何证明19世纪复制品本身就是具有文化意义的作品。本文还简要介绍了石膏造型和石膏铸造，并总结了历史上如何处理石膏模型的表面以改变其表面性质或外观的配方。因此，这篇评论的目的是提供一个总结的材料所使用的19世纪的泥水匠，和技术信息使用的保护员，研究人员和策展人谁从事的护理和研究历史石膏模型。维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆收藏的例子支持了历史文献中的信息。
ABSTRACT This review paper offers a summary of historical techniques and materials used to produce plaster casts and to treat their surfaces, as found in the historical literature. It reviews a selection of manuals, treatises, and recipe books on the art of the cast makers as well as a selection of patents related to the manufacturing of casts and the coating of their surfaces. The introduction to the review shows how relevant archival, historical, and technical investigation demonstrates that nineteenth century replicas are works of cultural significance in their own right, by means of a synthesis of background information. This paper also offers a brief introduction to plaster moulding and casting as well as a summary of historical recipes on how to treat the surfaces of plaster casts to change the surface properties or their appearance. This review aims therefore to provide a summary of materials used by the nineteenth-century plasterer, and technical information for the use of conservators, researchers, and curators who engage in the care and study of historical plaster casts. Examples from the Victoria and Albert Museum's collection support the information found in the historical literature.
