Embryology History - Ziegler Models
Introduction
Not a collection as such, but a historic series of wax models made in the 1860-80s based upon the embryos of Prof. Wilhelm His, Leipzig. Wilhelm His had earlier prepared a series of freehand models. These Ziegler models are the basis of some teaching models still commercially available and used today.
Adolf Ziegler (1820 - 1889) a German modeller developed these models at his Studio for Scientific Teaching Models (Atelier für wissenchaftliche Unterrichtsmodelle) from the 1860's onwards of both human and animal embryos. Ziegler's models were first used in Germany, but were also later exhibited in Paris (1867) and Vienna (1873).
His son, Friedrich Ziegler (- 1936), continued the modelling company.
The Carnegie Institute later in the early 1900's also developed many additional models based upon their own collection. (More? Carnegie Models)
