The criminal / by Havelock Ellis.

Havelock Ellis · 1895 · London : Walter Scott, ltd., 1895. · 18 pictures

Havelock Ellis's 1895 London study The Criminal, a Walter Scott publication aimed at readers of late-Victorian criminology and popular science, examines criminal types through physical and psychological traits. Its plates are numbered profile line drawings of male heads in side view, with varied hair, brow, nose, lip and chin shapes shown as a sequence for comparison, useful to a designer seeking clinical, archival or typological imagery with strong silhouettes and fine hatched shading.
