An enlarged, anatomical model of eye in papier‐mâché belonged to the scientific bookstore GILLOT‐BRIEUX (48 rue Jacob, PARIS 6ème). The model measured 40×40×30 cm. It represented the adult, human eye in two halves separated by an horizontal plane, in order to expone the internal structures with the transparent components which were removable. The vascular rendering was very detailed. The orbital cavity was represented only in its inferior half. The muscles of the orbit and the arteries were represented and also the infra‐orbital and nasal parts of the adjacent face. This model was one of the very first in the production of Doctor AUZOUX (19th century) in its village of Saint Aubin d'Escroville in Normandy (LEMIRE, 1990). It was recently reproduced by its successors. The anatomical models of AUZOUX were very accurate and could be compared during the 19th century, only with composite models of TRAMOND.
