2013
Dr. Louis Auzoux (1797-1880) is known all over the world for the anatomical models made of papier maché he produced and exported over the world. If the models related to human aesthetics are more reknown, they are far from being the only ones that the famous industrialist has designed and marketed; animals, plants and especially flowers, are another facet of his art.

His horse shoe was made of an iron hook inlaid into the edge of the wall that limited the wear of the hoof while the sole and frog came into contact with the ground and limited slips.

Quittor was a disease of the pastern and crown area of the ungulates. It was quite common in the horse until the early twentieth century.

Treatment involved excision of the latter which involved a spectacular operating manual. This action marked the beginning of the veterinary profession, until the disappearance of the disease that was a result of the mechanization of agriculture and transport. It is now very uncomm…

From one poem to the next, O’Reilly depicts the northernness of the Arctic Ocean as eery but bewitching otherness, focusing on illustrations of Captain Graville’s whaling ship ice-…
