Nature's revelations of character, or, Physiognomy illustrated : a description of the mental, moral and volitive dispositions of mankind, as manifested in the human form and countenance
A late nineteenth-century American treatise on physiognomy by Joseph Simms, published in New York by D.M. Bennett in 1887, aimed at general readers curious about reading character from facial features. Its pictures are small wood-engraved head profiles and frontal portraits with dense hatched shading, showing exaggerated noses, brows, hair and collars, which suit a designer seeking vintage Victorian pseudoscience or phrenology-style character studies.
