Phrenology, in connexion with the study of physiognomy : illustration of characters / by J.G. Spurzheim.
Spurzheim's 1833 Boston treatise on phrenology and physiognomy, published by Marsh, Capen & Lyon for readers interested in character reading and the study of faces. The pictures are stippled lithographic portraits of men's heads in profile and close three-quarter views, with shaded hair, eyes and brows rendered in soft tonal gradations a designer could study for crosshatch-free tonal portraiture.
