Lectures on Phrenology is an 1895 American medical-reference volume by George Combe, edited with notes and a historical sketch by Andrew Boardman and published in New York by Fowler & Wells, aimed at students and readers of phrenology. Its engravings show human skulls from several angles, with dark patches and ridged surfaces that suggest hatched line work for a designer studying old scientific illustration and skull forms.
