Charles Rouvin's 1877 Paris study La tête humaine applies phrenology and physiognomy to famous figures from antiquity and recent times, published by V. Adrien Delahaye for a general readership of educated French readers. Its pictures are small wood-engraved portraits of men in profile and three-quarter view, with dense hatched shading on coats and hair that a designer could use as a model for tonal crosshatching and period character studies.
