Plaster statue showing a dissected chest, England, 1970

The skin, muscles and ribcage have been removed from the chest of this plaster bust to show the lungs, heart and liver. The sculptor, Christopher Hobbs (b. 1945), used a German print from the 1400s as the basis for this model. Anatomical drawings and models were important teaching aids as bodies were difficult to preserve and few were available for dissection. Models could also be used to pick out and emphasise certain features, in this case the internal organs. The statue was used in the 1971 Ken Russell film The Devils, which was about the corruption of the church in France during the 1600s. It was donated to the Wellcome Institute by Pinewood Studios.

I’m moving shop! Etsy has been great to me, but the fees are becoming a problem, and I like the customization features of Big Cartel better.

I hope people are still able to find me after the move :/

To help spread the word, I’m giving visitors a 10% discount on their first order through the new digs — just use code MOVE10 when you’re checking out!

Internal Anatomy of the Grass Frog [Genus Litoria]

As different as frogs are from you and I, you can clearly see how similar vertebrates are to each other when you dissect one. One heart, two lungs, a stomach, liver, spleen, gall bladder, intestines, kidneys, bladder, and gonads are visible in this particular dissection, as well as the extraordinarily strong leg muscles.
