Comparing the two big Pompeii body cast batches changed how I read the whole site
The casts made from the 1860s Fiorelli plaster method versus the resin ones from the 1980s look totally different up close, and the older ones hold way more detail of the actual bodies, so now I always check which era a cast comes from before trusting what a display placard claims about how someone died.
