Comparison with Galvanoplast

Comparison of my original relief with the electroplated relief (Galvanoplast)

The galvanic relief I recently obtained for comparison purposes (galvano-plastic) looks like my original relief on a quick glance. However, when looking at the enlarged areas, the differences become clearly visible.

The difference between my original relief and the galvanic relief is clearly visible. The junctions are each photographed at the same magnification.


In the following five excerpts of the front side are compared by way of example.

In the following seven excerpts of the reverse side are compared by way of example

Even at the back you can clearly see the difference. Thus, the original traces of the processing of the front of the original relief are partially visible as small bulges. On the other hand, the back side of the galvanic relief is only grainy and the fine work is not visible from the front back. The junctions are each photographed at the same magnification.
