Objet De Curiosité : Human Anatomy : Anatomical Wax Of A Form Of Carcinoma

Presented in its globe, a beautiful 19th century anatomical wax, in very good condition, representing an advanced form of carcinoma. Possibly apocryphal signature of Jules Baretta, dated 1885.

^{Charles Lailler (1822-1893), then a doctor at the Hôpital Saint-Louis, invited Jules Baretta (1833-1923), then a papier-mâché fruit maker, to join his department in 1863. Baretta quickly excelled in his ceroplasty technique and came up with waxes that matched the various clinical dermatological pathologies he encountered. In 1884, he was officially appointed curator of the Musée de l'Hôpital de Saint Louis, where he produced more than 2,000 casts. In 1889, Jules Baretta was made a Knight of the Legion of Honour.}
