A photo essay by Roger Arvid Anderson of sculptor Bruce Wolfe’s bust of Frederick Douglass. Essay follows the stages of the lost wax casting process from beginning to end, that is from pouring wax into the mold to patinating the bronze bust at the end, and then finally boxing it for shipping. The text is drawn from chapters I through VIII of the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. Images are subject to copyright. Archival prints can be ordered from the photographer: www.RogerArvidAnderson.com
