That's not surprising. A benchmark photo for image compression is from Playboy.

Doesnt load for me, anyone have another link?

For me it immediately starts downloading the file instead of opening in the browser as PDF. Maybe it's already in your download folder?

The relevant images are:

Bro I am cooked, it took me a few read throughs before I realized she wasn't spending the math departments budget on anthropomorphic art analysis.

Probably not, the images are very garbled because they are meant to be viewed in a polished cylinder. See what I found: https://repozytorium.biblos.pk.edu.pl/redo/resources/27069/file/suwFiles/ZdziarskiA_RzutAnamorficzno.pdf#page=27

This is probably not it, it's too old (1997) and by a male student. Anyway, here are the keywords for your research:

Edit: The "Lover's Embrace" could be a misremembering of Para kochanków ("Pair of Lovers") by Jan Ziarnko (1608), and this article, which might be it (not a thesis but by a female Polish scholar in 2014), includes a decoded version: https://bibliotekanauki.pl/articles/706976.pdf#page=3 (NSFW)
