From 1830 onwards, Dr. Louis Auzoux developed the industrial production of demountable anatomical models of human and animal parts made of papier-mâché, known as plastic anatomy models (from the Greek for “to break into pieces”).
These were much lighter than plaster or wooden models and less expensive than wax ones. His secret to making his pieces light and easy to handle without being too fragile lay in the manufacture of his paste and the addition of cork powder.
He thus responded to the high demand for human and animal models for use in schools.
Dr. Auzoux died in 1878, and the establishments were taken over by his widow and nephews. In 1926, they were bought by Henri Barral, who merged them with Maison Vasseur-Tramond, a specialist in ceroplasty (wax models). From 1959 onwards, the advent of synthetic resins marked the gradual abandonment of papier-mâché anatomical models.
