Department of Ancient and Byzantine Art & Numismatics
According to correspondence in Charles Herbert Moore’s files for 17 April 1895 the following plaster casts of the Parthenon frieze were ordered from the British Museum for the new Fogg Museum:
30 ft. in length of South frieze (Michaelis’ nos. XXXV to XLII)
22 ft. in length of the North frieze (Michaelis’ nos. V-X)
Nos. IV and V (Michaelis) of the East frieze
The request to the British Museum was passed along to Domenico Brucciani who beginning in 1857 acted as the British Museum’s formatore and in addition conducted a cast business of his own. After Brucciani’s death in 1880 his firm Brucciani & Co. continued to supply casts for the British Museum. The casts of the Parthenon frieze obtained by the Fogg in 1895 were made by Brucciani & Co. (Harvard University Art Museum archives : Brucciani correspondence 9 May 1895 13 May 1895 and 10 July 1895).
