Description

Description from L.A. Brown's1959 catalog: "Figure 114 is a model of the right side of the face showing a dissection of the parotid gland and its duct. Although it cannot be seen in the figure, a bit of realism was added in the form of a glass eye. Originally the model was mounted on velvet and framed as the models of the stomach were treated. Figure 115 of the colon is representative of the larger and more complex models. It is in full color and shows remarkable detail. The liver and the stomach appear at the top while the urinary bladder is show resting on the pubic arch. Some damage through shipping and breaking of the friable wax is apparent. The large glass dust cover is missing."
