Dr. Auzoux is the inventor of an anatomy he called "clastic" whose principle is the articulation of an anatomical piece into its elementary constituents that can be dismantled and reassembled. Its anatomical reproductions are of unparalleled technicality and precision. From the 1940s, auzoux produced two large types of paper planks on linen canvas. The series on a black background includes very schematic and carefully drawn-out murals on a large black background. They illustrate human anatomy and physiology, general biology, zoology and botany. The majority of these plates were illustrated by paul sougy, professor of natural history, science and drawing in orleans.
