An enlarged anatomical model of an intestinal villosity had been realized in papier‐maché by a french, medical doctor Jérome AUZOUX (19th century) who was specialized in human, animal and vegetal models of anatomy in this uncommon material which were enlarged and dismantabled. The villosity was about 30 cm high and was fixed on a rectangular, black, wooden basis with the label of Auzoux. Two main vessels : a small artery and a vein of the same caliber structured the sample on each side of a villosity shaped as a half cone. The sagittal plane was bordered by the drawing of the cells. Between the artery and the vein, numerous transverse anastomoses were represented. This model was quite simple in the production of Auzoux but it was a successful assay to represent a structure quite at an histological level of enlargement.
