Dr. Louis Thomas Jerome Auzoux was a French doctor who used papier-Mache/and wood for making his anatomical models. Auxoux started the production models in times of lack of corpses to practise dissections. He began producing the anatomical models in 1827 in his workshop in his hometown Saint Aubin D’Ecrosvill. He developed mal techniques that enabled him to mass-produce the anatomical models. His models are considered one of the best in the field due to their scientifically correctness, their bright colours and their well-made detail existed for more than 1.5 century’s.
