There seems to be only one bodily part that is not fitted with a hinge... Thanks, Henrik. I look forward to the Carnivalesque! I love it!

The Kunstkammer mentions other models by Zick, but they are in Braunschweig and Rheydt Castle in Germany. I did find another image of an early modern (eighteenth-century) anatomical model of a pregnant woman; she lies on a marble slab that might also be part of a coffin. <p> <img src="http://www.earmarks.org/wp-content/themes/default/images/anatomy.jpg" class="centered" border="0"/> </p><p> The image is from the <a href="http://www.blockmuseum.northwestern.edu/exhibitions/current/gender.html" rel="nofollow">Block Museum of Art</a>, which hosted an exhibition called "The Anatomy of Gender" that I would have loved to see. "Bringing together images in diverse media — prints and printed books, small sculptures in ivory and wax — this exhibition will explore the complex attitudes toward visualizing sexual differences in early Modern elite and popular culture." (See also Lyle Massey's online essay <a href="http://anatomyofgender.northwestern.edu/massey01.html" target="new">Dissecting Pregnancy in Eighteenth-Century England"</a> on a companion website to the exhibition.) On a different note, <a href="http://roy25booth.blogspot.com/2006/04/to-find-minds-construction-in-face.html" target="new" rel="nofollow">Early Modern Whale</a> has a post on how an early modern astronomer read people's constitutions from their outsides, rather than their insides.</p> That’s interesting.
