This photo is from a book from what to seems to be a great publisher, Blast Books. It is called Dissection: Photographs of a Rite of Passage in American Medicine 1880-1930 by John Harley Warner and James M. Edmonson, and it's a collection of rare photographs Medicine students took of themselves with the cadavers they dissected. You may see more photos and read more about it on this very good blog post on Morbid Anatomy.
