It was a real thing.

Sweden made an early attempt at gradually switching over to the Gregorian calendar by eliminating leap years for awhile. They skipped the first one, but with wars and such, they neglected to skip the next couple of leap years. Eventually they decided to return to the Julian calendar, by adding a day in 1712.

This piece was constructed from 1 straight line for every day from Feb 30, 1712 to Jan 1, 2021.
