AB - Dr Louis Thomas Jérôme Auzoux (1797–1880) introduced his botanical teaching collection in the 1860s for the purpose of aiding botanical instruction in French educational settings. The set of papier-mâché teaching models was crafted by the same model-making technique used to create Auzoux’s renowned anatomical models. The flower collection was designed to be the botanical equivalent of Auzoux’s anatomical triumphs. It represented twenty-three plant species and twenty-four varieties of fungi in larger-than-life, vibrant colour models. This paper explores the evolution of this collection, its successes and its failures. It also considers how the models fit within the personal collection of their maker, Dr Auzoux.
