An 1838 phrenology synopsis by O. S. Fowler, published in Philadelphia by Fowler and Brevoort, for general readers interested in reading character from the skull. Its plates show skulls in profile and front view with numbered faculty zones, alongside heads of men and women with measurement lines drawn over them. A designer might draw on the engraved cross-hatching and the diagrammatic numbering used to map the head, a look suited to vintage science graphics.
