The female offender / by Cæsar Lombroso and William Ferrero ; with an introduction by W. Douglas Morrison.
The Female Offender is a criminology study by Cesare Lombroso and Guglielmo Ferrero, with an introduction by W. Douglas Morrison, published in London by T. Fisher Unwin in 1895 for a scholarly and professional readership. Its plates are rows of octagonal photographic portraits of women, some full-face and some in profile, numbered in sequence. A designer might take from them the period framing of octagon vignettes and the grid layout of head studies arranged in tidy plate sheets.
