Phrenology exemplified and illustrated, with upwards of forty etchings / by D.C. Johnston.
A Boston phrenology primer of 1837 by the American caricaturist David Claypoole Johnston, illustrated with some forty etchings that teach the head's bumps as comic character types. The pictures are small, sardonic satirical cartoons of single figures and groups, with captions arranged in grids, and a designer could take their clean hatched line work, compact panel layouts and exaggerated gestures as models for humorous narrative spot art.
