Plücker Collection

The Society possesses a series of 14 wooden models of surfaces constructed under the direction of Professor Plücker, in illustration of the theory developed in his posthumous work, "Neue Geometrie des Raumes gegründet auf die Betrachtung der geraden Linie als Raumelemente," Leipzig, 1869.

Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, June 1871. 

Images of all 14 of the Plücker boxwood models are shown below. They are currently housed at the Science Muesum and these photographs are shown with their permission.
