#Repost @umnpremod_bookandprint_wkshop (@get_repost) ・・・ #FemurFriday featuring this jubilant skeletal figure from William Cheselden’s “Osteographia” (1733).😃 You might remember the song “Dem Bones” from anatomy class or elemenatry school... “thigh bone connected to the hip bone, hip bone connected to the back bone...etc.” 🦴 Notably, the song “Dem Bones” was written by James Weldon Johnson (well known for his work at NAACP). The song was written as a spiritual, but ultimately took on a new role as a popular way to study the anatomy of human bones. 🎶 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pYb8Wm6-QfA #print #printhistory #anatomy #histmed #rarebooks #dembones https://www.instagram.com/p/BtE1DE-AxaJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2rda0ri6yzc7
