Pius IX Society of Saint Vincent-de-Paul, January 5, 1855. Copper. 1855.Pope Pius IX (1792-1878, reigned from 1848) early 1870s A. Latry et Cie. Made of bois durci (hardened wood) this portrait medallion of Pope Pius IX (1792-1878; reigned 1846-1878) is an interesting example of an experimental material developed for mass manufacture during the industrial revolution. In 1854, the French author, François Charles Le Page, invented the mixture of finely powdered wood blended with oxblood or other organic binders that transformed into a hard, sturdy, lightweight material after being compressed into metal molds and dried. Alfred Latry acquired the patent in 1859. His factory in Paris produced a variety of inexpensive, replicable small-scale domestic bois durci objects - such as frames, brooches, buckles, boxes, and portrait medallions -- until 1898. Today, cellulose-based bois durci is considered a forerunner to the polymer-based synthetic compounds bakelite and modern plastic.Portrait medallions of contemporary political and cultural leaders were a lucrative cCommemorative medal Franz Xaver GabelsbergerDeath of Johan Wolfert van Brederode, Veldmaarschalk der Nederlanden.
