Check it out here. More about this most wonderful of books here and here. The image above is from the book and featured in the Discover Gallery. Caption reads: "Given the outdoor location of this "dissection," along with the students' unusually formal garb, we can be sure this procedure was staged by these students at the U of North Carolina Medical Dept., around 1890. The Seated man is the janitor; the overturned bucket he's sitting on was usually kept at the foot of the dissection table, and was used to collect waste."

I think the things they wrote on the sides of the tables were hilarious. "A thing of beauty is a joy forever"
