Dr Auzoux Anatomical model brain papier-mâché

 
A fantastically detailed 19th C papier-mâché model of the brain, unmarked but undoubtedly made by Dr Auzoux and listed in his catalogue. The attention to detail is breathtaking with the anatomical landmarks of the cerebral hemispheres, corpus callosum and central brain, brain stem and cerebellum. The structures are all labelled and numbered. Again the pictures only scratch the surface. The whole model comes apart and as each section is removed new treasures are revealed within. Even the various tracts within the cerebral hemispheres are individually marked with beautifully drawn paper fan like structures. Amazing! (One of a set of four)
