$1,700 / set - Anatomical Model of Gorilla by Dr. Louis Auzoux Plus Unique Handwritten BookletBy Dr. Louis AuzouxLocated in Haarlem, NLSinke & van Tongeren exhibited this extremely rare Auzoux Gorilla by carefully taking apart the model and creating an exploded view of this historically important piece.
