Biomedical Ephemera, or: A Frog for Your Boils

Danse Macabre - Danza de la Muerte - Totentanz "The Dance of Death"

What's up, chickadees? I got distracted from my schoolwork today and spent thoroughly too much time editing and posting Danse Macabre illustrations on the Flickr Photostream. Check them out, use them, re-post them, whatever you want. And you two guys who requested more "Dance of Death" stuff had better appreciate the heck out of this (and disregard that I was already preparing it when you asked :P)!

Ephemeral Scraps' photostream on Flickr.

Uploaded a set of parrots from 1840. I think pretty much every single scientific name is wrong, so find the alternative if you use the image.

Hey! You spending tonight at home/recovering from a wild party/lollygagging about all day? Here's something to take a few minutes of your time!

The new layout isn't up yet, but I have quite a few images on my Flickr photostream already - both natural history and medical.

Check out the Erpétologie générale album. I can never seem to find enough uses for the illustrations over on the blog, but they are fantastic. Frogs and gators and turtles and lizards!

The German orthopedics and the herpetology books aren't annotated yet, but the references for everything are already loaded.
