In the 1940s Paul Sougy, a gifted illustrator and curator of natural history at the Orleans Science Museum, south west of Paris, was commissioned by the estate of French naturalist Jerome Auzoux to create a series of educational illustrations based on the work of Dr Auzoux. Sougy created a stunning numbered series of illustrations which were used in books and educational charts to help further biology and physiology in schools and universities. Dr Louis Jerome Auzoux was a major pioneer in the education of anatomy and himself created a large number of exceptional lifelike paper mache models that could be taken apart and rebuilt to demonstrate the anatomy of humans, animals and plants.
