About the Item
The German sculpture Franz Josef Steger (1845-1938), under the guidance of Professor Wilhelm His (1831-1904) and based on the designs of anatomist Carl Ernst Bock (1809-1874), revolutionized anatomical models in the 1880s by developing a fast and accurate method of producing plaster-cast models. This was partly based on Prof. His's suggestion that the body parts be frozen before dissection and casting. This technique prevented the movement of the body parts and organs and allowed a more natural placement of the muscles, organs, and bones, thus creating a more realistic model. The Steger plaster-casts were produced from the late 1880s until the early 1930s. These specific Bust dates from the 1890s carry a maker's label on the base and show only slight damage and no restorations. Anatomical models have been used for centuries as an adjunct to teaching anatomy and play an essential role in the history of anatomical education. Models became famous for such reasons as the public disapproval of grave robbery.
