A French translation, published in 1791 by Heidelberg University Library's digitised collection, of Petrus Camper's physical dissertation on facial angles and how facial features differ among peoples and ages, edited by his son Adriaan Gilles Camper and translated by Quatremère-Disjonval. The three plates show frontal and profile heads with construction grids, and a diagram of angled lines against a rectangle, which a designer could use as a study of proportion and the facial angle.
