Description from L.A. Brown's 1959 catalog: "Dr. Peter's Notebook has this memorandum, '9 skeletons of fetus and glasses 144 francs.'
The stiff and unnatural style of mounting these foetal skeletons was typical of the time. Many of the early textbooks on human anatomy have illustrations taken from identical specimens. The largest skeleton in this set is full term: from this skeleton the sizes downward represent decreasing ages in terms of lunar months. These skeletons were prepared by Guy of Paris."Collection
