About Lithophanes
Paul de Bourgoing is credited with inventing the process of lithophanes in 1827 in France.
Traditionally, lithophanes are an etched or molded artwork made from a translucent porcelain. The thickness must be very thin so that the photo or artwork can be seen clearly only when back lit with a light source.
Lithophanes were made by specialized European craftspeople beginning as an image carved in warm wax on a glass plate. This was then backlit and carved. A modeler would duplicate the image on a flat wax plate carving relief and intaglio. Where the wax was carved thinnest more would shine through. Of course where the wax was carved thickest then there was less light shone through.
A plaster gypsum mold was cast from the wax. It was sometimes cast in metal for the production of multiple molds. The casts were removed from the molds and then fired to about 2300 degrees Fahrenheit. Finished lithophanes are somewhere between one sixteenth of an inch thin to almost a quarter inch (1.5 to 6mm) thick.
