Images are from a comic book called "The Spitzner Museum's Wax Woman."
Pierre Spitzner's traveling museum, the "Musee Spitzner": a collection of anatomical models, moulages, specimens, paintings, dioramas, etc., that toured Europe for about a century before being dismantled circa WW2. Some of the Spitzner pieces ended up at the University of Paris, but unfortunately many others are now lost. The Spitzner's centerpiece was a wax anatomical model of a sleeping woman, which opened to reveal her internal organs.
