Man and Woman
Comparative anatomy booklet with removable boards
This was a supplement reserved for purchasers of the book "La femme, médecin du foyer" published by Maison d'éditions populaires in the 1930s.
The booklet dates from the 1930s.
Comparative anatomy of the male and female body in the form of charts with removable superimposed organs.
5 charts showing the human body, the last of which, protected by crystal paper, shows the male sex!
I love the inscription "For adults only" on the top of the booklet...
