Character analysis, text booklet and self instructor
Character analysis, text booklet and self instructor is a 1916 self-instruction booklet on physiognomy by Joseph Blumenthal, printed in Minneapolis by the Mississippi Valley Lumberman. Its pictures are line-drawn profile and front-view heads with labelled regions for faculties such as perception, observation and sentiment, plus a mail-order merchandise advertisement with a multi-storey building. A designer might take from them the clean diagrammatic style of early twentieth-century head charts and the labelled-annotation layout.
