A phrenology treatise by the brothers Orson S. and Lorenzo N. Fowler, published in London in 1892 and aimed at readers interested in character reading and the study of the skull. Its pictures are small wood-engraved portraits of men in head-and-shoulders poses, some in profile and some in oval frames, with dense hatched shading on hair, beards and coats that a designer could borrow for period portrait styles.
