“He wanted to ask her what sound a heart made when it broke from pleasure, when just the sight of someone filled you the way food, blood, and air never could, when you felt as if you’d been born for only one moment and this, for whatever reason, was it.”

Here is an array of child and fetal skeletons purchased for the Army Medical Museum in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Several of these skeletons can still be seen at the National Museum of Health and Medicine (where I just so happen to work). Many of the fetuses were prepared by Auzoux in France in the 1860s and 1870s. Others were prepared by Ward’s Natural Science in the 1900s.
