Not an antique book but a rare, out of print one!
"Corps de papier : L'anatomie en papier mâché du docteur Auzoux" published by Editions de la Martinière.

"In 1822 Dr. Auzoux developed a process that was revolutionary. He made papier-mâché bodies. Thanks to skilful hinges, skin, muscles, organs and viscera could be removed. Clastic anatomy was born. Auzoux proposed different models and details. He moved on to animal and then plant models, always keeping in mind the education of doctors and veterinarians, but also of the masses." (Translated from the back of the book)

French texts.
Beautiful photographs and close ups of the differents models.

It has been read and has some marks and slight dents but nothing too serious. The cover is slightly worn and scratched in places.
