Lectures on man : being a series of discourses on phrenology and physiology / delivered by L.N. Fowler.

Lorenzo N. Fowler, Harvey Cushing/John Hay Whitney Medical Library · 1880 · New York : S.R. Wells, 1880. · 1 picture

An 1880 New York phrenology text by Lorenzo N. Fowler, published by S.R. Wells, offering lectures on human nature and physiology for a general lay readership. Its only picture is a heraldic bookplate-style shield with horizontal engraved lines, an open Hebrew-lettered book at its centre, and the motto LUX ET VERITAS on a ribbon below, a mark of the library rather than the lectures, so a designer might take its bold line-engraved shield structure and banner lettering as a model.
