I just found an interesting on-line article about the history of plastercasts by Eugene Dwyer. I wish I'd found it sooner. This is the reference and link: Possibly I'm being dim, but I can't figure out what year this came out in. Can anyone complete the reference for me?
The illustration is taken from the article.

My thanks to John Muccigrosso for emailing me with the full reference to this article! It was published in 2005. Thus:
Dwyer, Eugene, "From Fragments to Icons: Stages in the Making and Exhibiting of the Casts of Pompeian Victims, 1863-1888," by Eugene Dwyer. Interpreting Ceramics, Issue 8, 2005.
You may find more things about cast and its relation with art in this exhibition catalogue:
