Lot 905
A patent photo-sculpture by François Willème, circa 1860, a plaster moulded bust of a Papal subject, inset brass maker's plaque, photosculpture, Willeme et Cie, 68cm high Other Notes: François Willème (1830-1905) was a French painter, sculptor and photographer and the inventor of "photosculpture". To create a photosculpture Willème would arrange his subject on a circular platform surrounded by 24 cameras- one every 15 degrees. He would then photograph their silhouette simultaneously with each camera. This set of photographic profiles contained the data for a complete representation of his subject in 3D. He then used a pantograph attached to a cutter which traced the profile from each photo and at the other end cut a sheet of wood with the exact same movement. The layers of wood were then assembled to create a photosculpture.Small dmage to the nose
