Rejet de l'organologie phrénologique de Gall, et de ses successeurs / par F. Lélut.

Lélut, F. (François), 1804-1877., Glasgow University Library · 1843 · Paris : Fortin, Masson, 1843. · 2 pictures

A French phrenology treatise by F. Lélut, published in Paris by Fortin, Masson in 1843, rejecting Gall's organology and its followers. The pictures are a pair of numbered skull diagrams, one showing a cranium with its surface divided into phrenological regions and the other a skull below it with the same sectioning, both in engraved line and stipple shading on a cream page. A designer might take the dense numbered grid and stippled bone tones as a clinical, pre-photographic scientific look, and the second image shows the vaulted cranium with orbit and jaw detail.
