- ANTIQUE MEDICAL ANATOMICAL HUMAN EYE
ANTIQUE MEDICAL ANATOMICAL HUMAN EYE MODELDESCRIPTION: Antique Medical Anatomical Human Eye Model made of papier-mache and glass. On the exterior of the eyeball is the cornea, through which the iris and pupil are visible, the large lacrimal (tear) gland, attachments for all six extrinsic muscles of the eye, the optic nerve roots, and surrounding blood vessels. The eyeball divides in half for study of the interior including the meticulously coat of the retina.
Popularized in the 19th century by French physician Louis Thomas Jerôme Auzoux (1797-1880), papier-mâché anatomical models were used to supplement study of the human body. Without refrigeration, bodies quickly decay, compromising the condition of the parts and creating an unpleasant work experience. Papier-mâché models were used as surrogate specimens for teaching and reference.
The eye is a particularly interesting example of a model because human and animal eyes are extremely difficult to preserve in their lifelike form. Eyes become milky, bleached, and misshapen in preservation fluid or in a dried state. A model is an ideal way to display the eye because the eye’s color and shape remain intact.
