Medical schools and museums (including the Smithsonian) relied instead on botanical models like these for student instruction. Manufactured through the 1920s by the Brendel Company, a German firm founded by Robert Brendel in 1866, these botanical models are made of papier mache, wood, plaster, gelatin, and other materials. Many can be “dissected” or disassembled to show the internal anatomy of flowers, fruits, and other organs. Flowers represented in this set include cacoa, henbane, iris, monkshood, poppy, and rose.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
