A rare 19th C papier-mâché model of
the head, unmarked but undoubtedly made by Dr Auzoux and listed in
his catalogue. Remarkable detail showing muscles, nerves and blood
vessels in the head and neck. There is too much to display in the
photographs which show only the superficial views. Each section has
been delicately put together with hinged pins and catches and the
whole model can be dissembled to reveal the inner anatomy in just
the same exquisite detail. A true masterpiece which traverses the
boundaries where art meets science. (One of a set of four) |
