Model of a pregnant woman by Jules Talrich
Paris, undated (late 19th century)

The Roca Collection includes a number of waxes made by Jules Talrich (1826-1904), the son of a French physician who became a celebrated anatomical model maker.

Talrich took over his father’s business making models in wax, plaster and other materials, and later became the official model maker for the Faculty of Medicine in Paris.

He established an anatomical museum in the Rue Rougemont and supplied models to the museum established by Doctor Spitzner and the Grand Panopticum de l’Univers.
