Introduction

Osborne Heard (1891 – 1983)

Osborne O. Heard (1891 – 1983) was one of the first to be hired, to the newly formed Carnegie Institute of Embryology in 1913, he was modeller who spent 42 years at the department and made over 700 wax-based reconstructions.

The results of this team effort still stand as the international standard by which human embryos are described and classified.

The models were mainly made by the lost-wax casting process and his models were also much more detailed than the earlier (1880's) Ziegler embryo models.

"Microscopic study was supplemented in each case by models made by the wax-plate method. Several of these reconstructions were already in the laboratory, having been prepared in connection with other studies, notably those of Ingalls, Bartelmez, Davis, Evans, and Streeter. Plaster casts were made from some of the plates by Mr. O. O. Heard, whose skilful aid is greatly appreciated. The colored figures were the work of Mr. J. F. Didusch and were drawn from models. I am much indebted to him for their excellent rendering and for further assistance in reconstructing some parts."
