An 1846 printed address by Andrew Combe to students at Anderson's University in Glasgow, marking the opening of a course of phrenology lectures given by Dr. Weir. The plate is a comparative anatomy sheet with brain diagrams for designers studying nineteenth-century scientific illustration. Its engraved views of brains, drawn in top, side and cross-section, suggest clean schematic layouts with labelled lettering and tidy grid arrangements of multiple small figures.
