New Swoon: The Antikamnia Calendar

my recent trip to d.c., and an unsuspecting lesbian bar on a sunday, introduced me to this little thing the Antikamnia calendar.  According to BibliOdyssey they were whim drawings from a St. Louis pharmaceutical student, Louis Crucius (and if that truly truly is dude's real name, i could not be more satisfied with the fitting nature of such fact) who sold most of his series to a local chemical company in the late 1800's, The Antikamnia (anti-pain) Chemical Company.  It was the company that compiled them into a calendar, and thankfully they did, because I love love love them. and even more thankfully, UCLA Biomedical Library is providing all of the 1900 edition for download, in high res ready for printing, link to photos. yess!
