Heads, and what they tell us : phrenological recollections / by W. Pugin Thornton.
A late-Victorian London book on phrenology, written by W. Pugin Thornton and published by Sampson, Low, Marston in 1892, presenting character reading through head shapes. Its pictures are simple pen-and-ink profile drawings of men and women with the head turned side-on, showing hair, ears, brows and noses in light outline on a cream ground; a designer might borrow the economical line work and the clean profile silhouettes for period-style portraits.
