Welcome to Litsy!

For #skeleton, I realized I could just take a bunch of pics of all of the skull and skeletal decorations throughout my apartment. Being on my own this year, things may have gotten bit out of control with decorating. Here‘s a small sample. The book my roomie is holding is amazing if you love the old historical drawings and artwork of human anatomy from previous centuries…to include lots of skeletons!

This is an absolutely beautiful volume of anatomical illustrations from the 17th through 19th centuries. This book is prefect for lovers of the medical oddities and specimens that can be found at places like the Mutter Museum or for those that enjoy the Body Worlds exhibit. It was interesting to see the heavy infusion of theology in the earliest drawings and the progression to more accurate art over time! 5/5
