Physiognomy and expression / by Paolo Mantegazza.
An 1890 London book on physiognomy and expression by the Italian physician Paolo Mantegazza, published by Walter Scott and held by the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. Its pictures are plain line engravings in brown ink on cream paper: branching tree diagrams that label human races as limbs, and a set of lettered head studies in profile and three-quarter view. A designer might take the stark tree-and-branch structure as a diagram device, and the cropped portrait grid as a layout for presenting several faces around one central image.
