Catalogue Note:
Louis Auzoux obtained the medical degree in 1818 and was appointed to the surgical department of the Hotel-Dieu with Guillaume Dupuytren. In 1820 he visited the papier-mâché workshop of Francois Ameline and later, in 1827, he set up a workshop making very accurate human and veterinary anatomical models in Saint-Aubin-d'E'crosville, his Normandy birthplace. Auzoux also made large-scale zoological and botanical models for educational use. The models were called "anatomy clastique" (from Greek 'klastos', which means 'broken in pieces'), because they could be taken apart to show the full structure. For more information, see B.W.J. Grob, 'The anatomical models of Louis Auzoux', A Descriptive Catalogue, Museum Boerhave, Leiden, 2004; and Bart Grob, Elizabet Nijhoff Asser and E. Manu' Giaccone, Papieren anatomie: de wonderschone papier-mache'modellen van dokter Auzoux, Zutphen, 2008.
