A manual of phrenology : designed for the use of teachers, students, and others / by Alfred T. Story.
A manual of phrenology by Alfred Thomas Story, published in London by L.N. Fowler in 1880 for teachers, students and general readers interested in the pseudoscience of skull-reading. The pictures are wood-engraved head portraits, mostly in profile or three-quarter view, of men with varied hair and beards, showing how the phrenological system presented character through the shape of the head and face; a designer might take the clean, hatched line work and the cream-toned paper as a model for historical portrait engraving.
