notes: label: Description
content: This large papier mache model of a human larynx was made in the Auzoux factory in Normandy, France. It has several detachable parts, and an inked inscription that reads “. . . Clastique / du Dr. Auzoux / 1888.” The Smithsonian bought this in 1895, probably paying $37.50 (duty free). Trade literature noted that “each muscle and cartilage may be separately removed and its action demonstrated; also the action of the vocal chords and the mechanism of the voice.”
