| This rare photo shows four male cadavers "playing" poker. Their "table" is a dissection table. Cadavers were occasionally "staged" in various positions after hours by prankster medical students. Also pictured are three bottles of alcohol, a skull, bowl, book, cigars and a box of matches. Notice the early light fixture, which is illuminated. Did you notice the medallion in the hand of one of the cadavers? This is an original photograph, and dates to c1890. The title is NIGHTLY REVELS IN STIFFDOM. The mount is 6.5"x5.5", and the photo is 4.75"x3.75". Please be sure to see our other medical and drug store items. We list new items every week! Thank you for visiting with us! | |||||||||||
