Footnote
Émile Muller (1823-1889) and his son Louis formed partnerships with French national and regional museum curators to cast moulds directly from their collections. In this case the mould is from the Musée des Augustins in Toulouse which holds the world's most definitive collection of Romanesque carvings.
