Combe, George, 1788-1858 · 1841 · Philadelphia, Carey & Hart · 6 pictures

George Combe's 1841 Philadelphia travel account of the United States, written after a phrenological tour of 1838 to 1840, was published by Carey & Hart for a general readership interested in American society and phrenology. Its pictures are small line diagrams of heads and faces, with dashed lines and numbered zones marking phrenological faculties, drawn in clean engraved strokes a designer could use for scientific or vintage diagram references.
