I.8.17 Pompeii. 1959. Plaster cast of Calco G. Photo by Stanley A. Jashemski. The Jashemski record says that this photo was taken in I.8.17 in 1959, but this victim most probably did not come from this house. Source: The Wilhelmina and Stanley A. Jashemski archive in the University of Maryland Library, Special Collections (See collection page) and made available under the Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial License v.4.

As the Jashemski photo is dated 1959 it is too early to be from the Garden of the Fugitives which was excavated in 1961. There is therefore the remote hypothesis that - as for casts 84 and 85 - the cast is the third found in 1902, during the excavation of a taberna (V.3.2), which turned out to be an almost complete cast (although considered unclear). In this case the cast would have been brought to the casa dei Quattro Stili following the excavation of the latter (1937-38). See Osanna, N., Capurso, A., e Masseroli, S. M., 2021. I Calchi di Pompei da Giuseppe Fiorelli ad oggi: Studi e Ricerche del PAP 46, p. 555, Calco G. Paribeni in NdS 1902, records: In fact, on the following 10th June only the cast of an arm with the upper part of the chest and the head emerged from a skeleton; of another, a portion of the trunk, and of a third, the almost complete cast. All these casts, however, due to the void being occupied in many places by lapilli, were very unclear and such that no value could be attributed to them. See Notizie degli Scavi di Antichità, 1902, p. 379.
