Detachable plaster model of human torso

Science Museum: "Detachable human torso, made of plaster, with additional detachable breast panel to reveal connective and glandular tissues, part of a life size female anatomical figure, c. 1900.

This life size female anatomical figure is made out of plaster. Half of the figure reveals the subcutaneous structure of the body and panels can be detached to reveal the positions of the internal organs, some of which can in turn be removed."

Breast shown to be detached and a transparent film over the other side, indicating that most of these anatomical models had inserts but are now missing today
