On application
This finely crafted anatomical plaster heart model, likely produced by Bock Steger around 1890, is a remarkable example of educational tools from the late 19th century. The model is composed of three polychrome-painted parts, allowing for detailed study of the heart’s anatomy, and remains in good condition.
The model is mounted on its original base, which proudly displays the name of the retailer: “Antonio Vallardi Editore – Roma Milano Napoli – Arredo scolastico.” Antonio Vallardi was a well-known publisher and supplier of educational materials in Italy, with branches in Rome, Milan, and Naples, making this piece not only a scientific tool but also a piece of historical educational heritage.
This anatomical model would have been an essential teaching aid in schools or universities, providing students with a detailed and accurate representation of the human heart. In good condition.
