Description

Description from L.A. Brown's 1959 catalog: "Many models for demonstration and teaching were purchased in 1839 from Thibert, Miller, and Auzoux. These were probably put on display for the first time in 1840 in the then new Medical Building which was located on the northwest corner of Broadway and Second Street in Lexington, Kentucky. These figures show models in plaster and represent such organs as the tongue and esophagus, the heart, the kidney with suprarenal, the spleen, etc."
