Notes on noses / by Eden Warwick.
Notes on Noses, by Eden Warwick, published in London by Richard Bentley in 1864, is a Victorian treatise on physiognomy and the nose, printed for a general reading public interested in character reading. Its pictures are small wood-engraved profiles and portraits, some of them copies of classical cameos and coins in oval frames, showing how the nose profile was drawn and compared across faces, useful for designers studying period engraving, hatching and oval vignette framing.
