Physiognomik und Mimik / von Paolo Mantegazza ; mit mehr als hundert original-zeichmungen von Hector und Edward Ximenes ; vom verfasser genehmigte übersetzung von R. Löwenfeld.
Physiognomik und Mimik is an 1890 German translation by R. Löwenfeld of Paolo Mantegazza's study of facial expression and physiognomy, published in Leipzig by B. Elischer Nachf, with more than a hundred drawings by Hector and Edward Ximenes. The pictures are pen-and-ink studies of heads in profile and three-quarter view, each labelled with a letter, showing emotional expressions such as anger, fear, sorrow and surprise, with hatching used for hair and shadow. A designer could draw on their clear, economical line work for character sketches, expression studies, or lettered figure plates.
