Anatomical Model of a Lily Flower – Robert and Reinhold Brendel

Anatomical model of a lily flower.
Papier-mâché and painted wood.
Late 19th - early 20th century.

These papier-mâché flower models were invented in 1866 by Robert Brendel. Often dismantlable, they held educational value through the enlarged depiction of the anatomy of various plants, algae, and fungi. These models were grouped together and sold in catalogs that diversified over time.

Initially acquired by universities and research centers, they became increasingly appreciated for their aesthetic qualities during the 20th century.

This botanical model is featured in the "Preisliste über Botanische Modelle" established by Brendel, in the "Ornamental Plants" ("Zierpflanzen") section, under number 75, "Lilium Martagon".
