Indigenous Races of the Earth, a mid-nineteenth-century ethnological treatise edited by Josiah Nott and George Gliddon, published in Philadelphia and London in 1857 for scholars and readers interested in racial classification. The pictures are plain line engravings of human skulls in profile and one carved or modelled head, drawn with hatching and fine shading that a designer could borrow for scientific diagrams or vintage specimen plates.
