Orthodox phrenology / by A.L. Vago.
A phrenology treatise by A. L. Vago, published in London by Simpkin, Marshall & Co. in 1871, aimed at readers interested in the skull-reading theory of character. The pictures are pen-and-line engravings of heads in profile and three-quarter view, with bald crowns, curled wigs and bearded faces, showing how phrenologists mapped bumps and features; a designer might draw on their hatched shading and clean contour lines for character studies.
