Kleine Physiognomik der Menschenrassen : Zum Unterricht für die Jugend mit 32 illuminierten Abbildungen [als Beilage]

1833 · Müller · 33 pictures

A small German illustrated primer from 1833, published by Müller, meant as an instructional physiognomy guide for young readers and classifying human peoples by facial type. Its 32 hand-coloured plates show numbered profile heads in bust format, each captioned with a people's name in German and French, so a designer can see how early nineteenth-century race classification was packaged as a school picture book; the plain profiles, pale wash backgrounds, and serif caption lettering offer a restrained model for typographic labelling.
