beepy Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 <p>A <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/28/health/28book.html">review of a new book on snapshots and pictures of anatomy classes</a> in the early 1900's.</p><blockquote>Some student groups posed for professional photographers. Others took their own shots. The prints were mounted on living room walls, sent as postcards and even used as calling cards. By 1920 the craze had simmered down, and after World War II it was pretty much over.</blockquote> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicaglow Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 <p>That is really interesting... and morbid to those of us not involved in such a goulish career. I might have to buy the book. Thanks for the post!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobatkins Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 <p>I guess that's why they call it "gross" anatomy...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffpolaski Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 <p>If you've ever seen "The Gross Clinic", by Eakins, you'd know what art could be about.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
