Museum exhibit with an Auzoux male model, University of Michigan. From the Gibson Collection, Bentley Historical Library, University of Michigan   Photograph of an Auzoux horse in exhibit at the Army Medical Museum, about 1900. From the National Museum of Health and Medicine, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology Before the 20th century, few anatomical models or charts were produced in the United States. Medical schools and museums, including the Smithsonian, relied on Ward's Natural Science Establishment of Rochester, New York, and other dealers to procure the highly respected European anatomical models.   The Smithsonian's Division of Comparative Anatomy purchased most of our papier-mâché models from Ward's. These models illustrated the similarities and differences between human and veterinary structures. They were exhibited at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago and the 1895 Cotton Exposition in Atlanta.   Many museums, both large and small, have collections of Auzoux's papier-mâché models. This photograph of an Auzoux horse on exhibit at the Army Medical Museum dates from about 1900.   << Previous Page | Next Page >>   Front cover of Wards Catalogue, 1893
