Goethes Anteil an Lavaters Physiognomischen Fragmenten / von Eduard von der Hellen.
A scholarly German study from 1888 by Eduard von der Hellen, published in Frankfurt by Rütten & Loening, examining Goethe's part in Lavater's physiognomic writings, with the illustrations drawn from the physiognomic tradition of character reading through faces. The pictures are outline profile portraits, classical busts, a black silhouette and a character head with heavy brows and a grimacing mouth, offering a designer clear models of profile silhouettes, oval vignette framing and expressive caricature line work.
