The aim of the study was to check the anatomical veracity of the model of wax N°262, from the Orfilas Museum (Paris) made by Tramond, entitled 《 nerves of the face 》.We successively took several numerical photographs with several view angles;anatomically described the nerves of the face as they were represented on this model;correlated the anatomical veracity of this representation with the classical textbooks data;approached the technical bases of fabrication;and collected several successive photographs of the specimen every 5°, all along 180°, thus allowing animated rotation on computer, using the Quick Time Virtual reality program.
